ITV The Chase viewers unimpressed with 'con-artist' psychic

ITV The Chase viewers were unimpressed with a contestant who claimed to have seen the ghost of Elvis Presley.

Player Paula, a psychic medium, made quite the impression on the popular quiz show.

The smash-hit show sees a team of four strangers go up against one of the eponymous chasers to try and win a cash prize.

In tonight's episode, which was a repeat, Paula told presenter Bradley Walsh she had seen the ghosts of celebrities, leaving him stunned.

She earned £6,000 in her cash builder round before going head-to-head against Anne "the Governess" Hegerty.

Anne said: "You're so bubbly we could wash up with you. Talking to spirits? I think you might have been drinking them."

But viewers were unimpressed with Paula's paranormal profession and took to Twitter to share their thoughts.

One viewer tweeted: "Con artist."

Another said: "I can't watch this. Don't want to see this Con Artist get any money".

Andrew commented: "In other words she’s a con artist!"

Neil said: "She's definitely mad".

Attila said: "Weird episode, should have stayed on the back shelf".

John commented: "Medium? In your dreams love."

Jeannie added: "Bradley is scared to death".

Some fans disagreed and were quite taken with the bubbly player.

One viewer said: "I want Paula at my house party... she’s mental but nice".

Simon added: "Paula seems to be a bubbly character".

Paula made it back to the Final Chase with her £6,000.

*The Chase airs weekdays on ITV at 5pm
