Scots The Chase contestant takes home jackpot with stellar performance after opting for high offer

On last night's episode of The Chase, one lucky Scot took home the jackpot after beating The Sinnerman.

Dougie, a subsea inspection engineer from Aberdeen, took part in the show with the hopes of scooping the jackpot to buy a new motorbike.

The 36-year-old rig worker was the first one to take part in the cash builder.

When show host Bradley Walsh asked Dougie to tell him a bit about himself, he revealed that before he was a subsea engineer, he was an abseiler and in his spare time he enjoyed brewing beer at home.

It was a strong start for Dougie as he managed to put £4,000 into the cash builder, however he opted for Paul Sinha's generous high offer of £28,000.

Dougie strolled through to the final chase, but only another two contestants Rosy and Richard made it back to the table to join him.

The trio built up an impressive £43,000 and opted for question set B in the final chase.

In two minutes the team managed to get 18 questions correct, with Dougie answering most of the questions out of all the contestants.

The Sinnerman stumbled on a few questions, meaning the team earned four push-backs - helping them secure the jackpot.

Dougie, Rosy and Richard split the amount between them meaning they took home £14,333.33 each.

A new motorbike, a wedding and a trip to the Philippines is on the cards for the worthy winners.

The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on STV.
