The Chase's Jenny Ryan put 'kiss of death' on Darragh Ennis' before 'nightmare' appearance

The Chase's Jenny Ryan tempted fate today with an untimely comment about Darragh Ennis before he suffered a 'nightmare' on the show.

Steve, Rebecca, Ria and Matt hoped that together they could beat the Chaser and leave with thousands of pounds.

Up first, was Steve from West Sussex.

The 53-year-old performed well in his cash builder, earning £4,000.

But Steve was no match for 'The Menace' who eliminated him with ease.

This prompted fellow Chaser Jenny Ryan to tweet: "Well, Darragh's not messing about today is he? #TheChase."

However, this proved to be the 'kiss of death' as things soon went downhill for Darragh.

The second contestant Rebecca, from Bolton, won £4,000 in her head to head after Darragh answered three consecutive questions wrong.

Ria, 38, added a further £7,000 as she eased through the second round.

And Matt, 27, from St Helens won a further £1,000.

His performance saw fans jokingly blame Jenny for 'jinxing' Darragh's performance.

Richard tweeted: "You’ve put the kiss of death on him."

Rebecca tweeted: "Ooft Darragh is having a 'mare today like."

Caitlin wrote: "Jenny jinxed Darragh guys."

Imo added: "Darragh is having a mare."

Michael said: "Rough round for Darragh."

But Darragh made up for his head to head performance in the final as he denied them from winning £12,000 by beating their score of 16.

Darragh admitted to host Bradley Walsh he's had a poor second round: "Yeah, I had a bit of a nightmare at the head to heads getting a lot of questions wrong."
