The Chase contestant's humble reason for doing show leaves fans in awe

The Chase contestant Angela stunned viewers with her adorable reason for taking on the ITV gameshow on Tuesday.

Angela was second to face Chaser Mark Labbett, challenged with a series of questions in a bid to earn some cash.

In her cash-building round she managed to secure £2,000.

Host Bradley Walsh then asked her about her reasons for doing the show, and her answer certainly warmed the hearts of viewers.

Angela confessed she was hoping to buy herself a magic phone that has all the latest contraptions including apps and other features.

She was of course referring to a smart phone, with her admitting she didn’t currently own one.

Not only that, she then surprised Bradley when she admitted the £2,000 she had secured would finally get her a dream phone.

He dropped the news that she could probably get a smart phone for far cheaper than that amount, but fans were loving her admission nonetheless.

Taking to Twitter , fans joked they should start a fund to get some money together for a phone for Angela, just in case they didn’t win against the Chaser.

Others were simply in awe of her adorable reason to come on the show, just to get herself a new device.

One fan said: “I love Angela. Saying she wants a magic phone instead of saying a smart phone is exactly the sort of thing my lovely Grandma Lottie would have said.”

Another agreed: “Angela so sweet .. only wants a phone.”

A third commented:  “Oh she’s so sweet though, I hope she gets her 'super duper phone'."

The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV.
