Scots The Chase contestant has viewers reeling after 'goat keeping' guess

A Scots contestant on The Chase had viewers at home "reeling" following one particular incorrect answer. On Wednesday's instalment of the hit ITV quiz show, host Bradley Walsh welcomed four new hopefuls Helen, Inaam, George and Deborah on the show.

Helen, 42, from Grangemouth was first up against Chaser Shaun Wallace after she managed to score an acceptable £3,000 in her cashbuilder. She then faced off against the Dark Destroyer and managed to get back to the rest of her team, but had viewers at home shaking their heads at the TV.

Her first question was: "'Kidology' is the art of what?" The options to choose from were: A - Goat keeping, B - Baby sitting, or C, Deceiving someone. Helen chose goat keeping as the correct answer, and said: "I mean goat keeping, they all could fit in somewhere. A baby goat is a kid."

After seeing Bradley's face, Helen quipped: "Oh dear." The correct answer was deceiving someone which the Chaser answered correctly. Bradley added: "Goat keeping is just goat keeping," as the audience could be heard laughing in the background.

Despite making it back to her team, viewers at home couldn't get over the Scots contestants blunder and took to Twitter. One wrote: "I try not to swear, I really do, but GOAT KEEPING. F****** hel!!!! #TheChase."

"Answering "goat keeping" as the definition of kidology on #TheChase might be the funniest answer since that contestant thought a football ricocheted in off an ice cream van in that Sunderland vs Liverpool match in 2009," another ranted. A third tweeted: "I'm still reeling from Goat Keeping #TheChase."

A fourth said: "#TheChase Kidology = Goat Keeping Comedy gold," while someone else joked: "Maybe she keeps goats in her Raith Rover #TheChase." "Goat keeping? What a silly billy! #thechase," wrote another. Someone else penned: "Goat-keeping... another dung answer! #TheChase"

Only Helen and George managed to make it back for the final Chase against Shaun with £4,000 in their cash pot. Both Deborah and Inaam got caught out as they went head to head with the Chaser, as Shaun quipped at the end he had taken out the two best members of their team.

Unfortunately, after only answering 11 questions correctly Helen and George were caught by the Chaser with 37 seconds to go and went home empty handed.

The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on STV.
