The Chase fans left fuming after 'snake' contestant turns against her team

The Chase fans were left fuming tonight after one contestant went against her own advice and snaked her own team.

Leeds theatre student Philippa scored £6,000 in her cash builder, impressing viewers.

But it wasn't long before the 22-year-old lost their respect as she chose to go for the low offer of £1,000 - despite telling the rest of her team to go for the middle or high offer.

Bradley was visibly annoyed she chose the £1,000 saying "I've got no idea why you've gone for that."

Philippa - who is set to study acting at a New York drama school - managed to get past the Chaser Anne Hegerty with ease and joined her teammate Dave to take on the final Chase.

But fans were disgusted by Philippa's decision.

One said: "HATE when people go for the low offer."

Another said: "Low offer! How very dare she."

And a third said: "What a snake. Tells player 3 to take the high offer. Then goes for the low offer."

In the final Chase Dave and Philippa managed to score  15 between them - with Dave scoring the majority of the points.

But it wasn't enough and Anne beat them with time to spare, leaving the contestants to go home with nothing.

*The Chase continues at 5pm on ITV tomorrow
