The Chase fans 'give up' over contestant's 'ridiculous' answer to easy question

The Chase fans were left rolling their eyes during tonight's episode after one contestant's "ridiculous" answer to a seemingly easy question tonight.

Despite scoring a respectable £6,000 on her cashbuilder, viewers weren't too impressed by contestant Phillipa's response to one of her questions.

Host Bradley Walsh asked: "The UAE holds beauty contests for which humped animal?"

Unfortunately, she replied: "Elephant." Doh!

And viewers were quick to jump on her mistake.

The Chase contestant suffers quickest loss ever after 'turning up to wrong show'

One tweeted: "Humped mammal - elephant? I give up! #TheChase."

While another commented: "‘The UAE holds beauty contests for which HUMPED animal?’ .. Elephant..."

A third remarked: #TheChase would love to see what a elephant looks like was humps."

"Oh f***. I'm from leeds and know that elephants don't have humps #TheChase," another joked.

One exclaimed: "#TheChase Did she really just say Elephant?"

Despite getting six questions right, Phillipa decided to go for the lower offer of £1,000, which saw her through to The Final Chase.

She joined Dave, who had won £8,000 for their pot and even though they managed to get 15 steps against Chase Anne Hegerty, they lost with 14 seconds remaining.

*The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV
