Shaun Wallace tells The Chase contestant to 'jog off' after stats jibe

The Chase's Shaun Wallace pointed to the exit and demanded an eliminated player "get off" after a cheeky jibe. The 'chaser' known as the Dark Destroyer took on the quizzer named Romzan on Tuesday's episode (May 3) of the ITV game show.

Romzan was joined by Mapaseka, Sophie and Martin on host Bradley Walsh's team as they took on the 62-year-old barrister in hope of winning a cash prize. First up was Romzan, who was asked by Bradley after the cash builder round which of the chasers he was hoping to face.

The contest shared that he wanted to take on Shaun as he was "statistically the worst chaser", reported the Echo. It was then revealed the chaser that day was, in fact, Shaun as he stepped up to the podium, leaving Bradley feeling 'awkward'.

The long-time chaser - who along with Mark 'The Beast' Labbett has been on the UK version of the show since it began in 2009 - came out swinging, swiftly eliminating Romzan in the head-to-head round. He gloated: "I've just played against the worst player I’ve ever played against" before adding: "Now get off" and sending him on his way.

The Chaser then proceeded to eliminate each of the remaining players. Martin, who had impressed in his head-to-head round against Shaun despite losing, was nominated by the team to return solo to take him on again in the final chase.

The contestant managed to build up 10 steps but that was never going to be enough. Shaun caught up with 55 seconds remaining, meaning the team left empty-handed.

Still stinging from the earlier jibe, a smug Shaun against dismissed Romzan as the team bid farewell. The chaser asked: "Romzan, what are you still doing here? Didn't I tell you to jog off?"
