Jenny Ryan silenced after Chase contestant's jibe over high offer

A contestant on The Chase left fans howling after telling Jenny Ryan exactly what he thought of her high offer.

John, from St Helens, was on the show alongside Nick, Sophie and Sue, hoping to win thousands of pounds.

After Nick was knocked off the show, it was up to John and the remaining contestants to add to the empty prize pot.

Sophie managed a solid £4000, but it was John that stepped up to the mark.

The diagnostic radiographer scored an impressive £9000 in his cash builder.

But when it came to facing The Vixen in the head to head, John appeared to be disappointed by her high offer.

Jenny offered John £50,000, but he declined the offer and stuck with his £9k.

The Vixen said: "Not enough to tempt you?"

John responded: "No, a hundred and odd we might have talked."

Host Bradley Walsh loved John's comeback, saying: "Good man."
