The Chase contestant slammed for showing 'disrespect' to teammates after viewers spot gesture

A contestant on The Chase was slammed by viewers who said he showed "disrespect" to his teammates.

Eagle-eyed viewers of the hit ITV show noticed a "disrespectful" gesture made by contestant Josh who stepped up to the podium to face Shaun Wallace.

During the episode, which was a repeated broadcast, Josh was the only one to get through to the Final Chase after getting past The Dark Destroyer.

But viewers took to Twitter to accuse Josh of "rolling his eyes" at his fellow contestants as they got questions wrong, Birmingham Live reports.

One person said on Twitter: "Rolling his eyes at everyone else getting a question wrong… Josh, you’re not the sharpest."

One fumed: "Josh, your smugness and thickness will be your final undoing, I promise you that. 7 and caught and a f***ing flat note."

One viewer wrote: "So the last man standing is the guy who thought Orville Wright was related to Orville the duck. Easy win for Shaun tonight."

"8 and his huge ego crushed. Shaun dismantles him with 38 seconds left set A," a second added.

A third said: "1 and caught. Shaun struggling to drag it out."

"Oh my god is Shaun actually winning today?!" another asked.

"This is one of those ‘comedy’ episodes when the double act that is Brad and Shaun fill in time!!," said another.

"Ohh Shaun is in a mood today!!," said another.

"Shaun has his cranky pants on today," said another viewer.

The Chase continues on ITV, tonight, at 5pm, with episodes available via the ITV Hub.
