During tonight's episode (July 28) of The Chase, 21-year-old contestant Michael had a cheeky comeback to one of Jenny 'The Vixen' Ryan's comment. The Vixen, who is well-known for her digs, seemed shocked when it was fired back at her.
While Michael spoke about his life and hobbies to host Bradley Walsh, The Vixen chipped in and commented on his maturity. She said he was "21 going on 41 by the sounds of it".
The 21-year-old was quick to respond, he said: "The same as you by the looks of it!"

The comeback received a laugh and a high five from Bradley but The Vixen didn't enjoy Michael insinuating that she was in her 40s. The Bolton-born Chaser was 36 at the time of filming.
Viewers at home were quick to pick on The Vixen's reaction, with @JoviGirl_1980 saying "Oooh, think that actually peed her off a little #TheChase"
@Boppity_Boo34 tweeted: "That was a proper insult from young Boris there #TheChase"
Viewer @Mayce_Windu simply said: "The Vixen just got BURNED ! #TheChase"
Karma soon hit Michael as he failed to answer enough questions correctly by the end of his round. The Vixen was more than happy to see the contestant leave the competition, she said: "That's instant karma, that's what happens when you insult me."
Bradley, who was disappointed for Michael said, "You shouldn't have upset the chaser".
