The Chase fans 'gutted' as 'amazing' quizzer loses £80k prize with just seconds to go

The Chase viewers were gutted for one contestant on the ITV gameshow on Monday, as she missed out on a "well deserved" fortune.

As the final contestant standing, Annabelle decided to play for a whopping £80,000 against Chaser Anne Hegerty.

The "amazing" quizzer managed to make it to the final round too, giving her a final attempt to win the money.

She was the only contestant to make it that far, as three others were knocked out of the running by Anne.

Her final round performance was hailed too, as she answered 19 questions correctly by herself, taking her to 20 points ahead of the Chaser.

This meant that Anne had 20 questions to stop Annabelle winning the big money, and it was pretty tight.

There was just nine seconds on the clock when Anne caught the quizzer, and ended her chances of winning the money.

Bradley had praised the contestant for how well she had done, as Anne also congratulated her on a good game.

Viewers were disappointed not to see Annabelle win the prize money though, believing she deserved it.

Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: "Gutted for Annabelle but well played, Anne."

Another viewer said: "Annabelle on #TheChase what a performance, so close to £80,000 on her own felt so sorry for her."

A third added: "Absolutely gutted for Annabelle there what an effort that was."

Meanwhile another fan commented: "An amazing effort. Bad luck Annabelle," as a fifth tweeted: "Annabelle you were a true star tonight on #TheChase tonight."

The comments kept coming too, with another tweet reading: "Unlucky, never wanted someone to win so much, absolutely deserved it, but Annabelle has the respect of everyone watching that show today. Well played."

This was followed by a tweet that said: "Annabelle on #TheChase was insane btw."

The Chase airs weeknights at 5pm on ITV.
