Bradley Walsh rubbed salt in the wound of a contestant on tonight's The Chase as she answered a question incorrectly.
American contestant Whitney joined team mates Rhidian, Beverley and Marvin as they went head-to-head with the "Dark Destroyer" chaser Shaun Wallace.
They competed against the genius, answering questions presented by host Bradley in a bid to try and go home with a cash prize.

Whitney, originally from Portland, Oregon, but now living in West Sussex, said she hasn't visited home in more than two years and hoped to spend any winnings going to see her new baby niece.
She hoped for some American-based questions as she felt confident she would be able to answer them correctly.
The student midwife struck lucky as she had an American based question.
Bradley asked her "The violinist Isaac Stern led the 60's campaign which saved which New York concert hall?"
Whitney surprisingly passed on the question, to which the correct answer was Carnegie Hall.
After her round of quick fire questions, Brad just had to rub it in as he said to her: "I have one thing to say to you missus - Carnegie Hall."
She replied: "I'll be kicking myself for weeks for that one."
However, it didn't put the contestant off too much as she played on for a middle offer of £3,000. She beat the chaser and successfully made it back to the team, adding to the prize pot and securing a place in the final chase.
But the irony of her not being able to answer an American question was not lost on fans as they took to Twitter to share their thoughts.
