The Chase fans amazed after contestant breaks record with £75,000 solo win

The Chase viewers have been left in awe of a 20-year-old contestant who bagged a record breaking £75,000 solo prize.

It was on Thursday night's rerun of The Chase where Bradley Walsh welcomed four new quizzers to the show all in the hope adding some serious cash to their bank accounts by beating the Chaser.

However, Eden, was the only player left remaining after Gemma, Elizabeth, and Sydney were all taken out by the Chaser Darragh 'The Menace' Ennis.

The impressive contestant landed the astonishing sum after opting for the highest option in the cash builder, the Record reports.

The young brainboz then came out with 18 correct answers in the final chase, which proved too much for Darragh, who failed to catch him. Eden, from Birmingham, left Bradley jumping for joy and screaming after winning the record-breaking sum of cash.

After Eden won the cash, Bradley buzzed: "That is the highest ever single win in TV quiz show history - and you're only 20!" That is brilliant for a 20 year old, amazing, you scored 18 - you have to be happy with that. Extraordinary. Well played." Darragh added: "Well done."

"Congratulations, you have outrun the Chaser," said Bradley. He continued: "Let me tell you - this is the best quiz on TV. Bar none. Because this just does not happen on any other show. Come and have a go - if you think you are young, or you are clever, enough!"

Eden told Darragh: "Thanks mate. Thanks."vDarragh added: "I would have got you if you had not got those pushbacks. Those pushbacks were vital. Really well done. You did outrun me."

Bradley said: "75 grand! 20 years of age! What a show. What are you going to do with the money now?" Eden said: "Just look at it in my bank account." Darragh added: "You were really, really good at the table."

The stellar performance left viewers at home in awe of Eden, and many took to Twitter to praise the young contestant on his big win. "What a legend! What a bloody legend! Yes, Eden! #TheChase

@ITVChase," said one.

"He was bloody good for a young lad. @BradleyWalsh is dead right, #TheChase is the best quiz on TV," another penned. A third added: " #TheChase...well done Eden you thoroughly deserved your £75000 I hope you enjoy watching it in your bank account!"

A fourth said: "What an epidode, what a final Chase. Well done Eden £75k #TheChase," while another echoed: "That’s incredible, one kid on his own, 20 years old, 18 answered defeats the chaser for 75 grand #thechase."

The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on STV.
