The Chase player horrified after Mark Labbett's 'mean' comment

Mark Labbett left a contestant on The Chase with his mouth wide open in shock after calling him 'weak'.

Gareth, Aaron, Nicky and Julie were all on today's show hoping to win the big cash prize.

Up first was Gareth, who set the bar high for the remaining contestants, after scoring £7000 in his cash builder and answering every question right in the head-to-head.

Looking to match his teammate's success was Aaron, a video game content writer from Bristol.

The 25-year-old entered The Chase to earn enough money for him and his girlfriend to visit New York City.

Unfortunately, Aaron was hit with some tough questions in the cash builder and managed only £1000.

The Beast offered him £35k in the head-to-head or a low offer of £100.

But Aaron stuck with £1000 prompting a comment from Mark.

The Beast said: "When you're as weak as you are, you should take whatever you can to get you home."

Aaron appeared visibly shocked by the apparent dig, as he turned to his fellow contestants with his mouth wide open and asked Mark why he had to be so mean.

But viewers at home thought The Beast was spot on with his comment.
