The Chase's Mark Labbett stunned as player sets 'show record' after fleecing chaser

The Chase 's Mark Labbett was left gobsmacked on Sunday night after a player set a new “show record”.

The ITV gameshow returned on Sunday night with four bright-eyed and hopeful players attempting to beat The Beast.

Dolores, John, Arlene and Paul were in the hot seat for the weekend’s edition of the hit show.

Player Dolores, who was last up to take on the chaser, got a rare giggle out of the Beast and made host Bradley Walsh roll with laughter over her ever-changing advice.

The nursery nurse made the studio chuckle, because in the lead-up to her go she gave all of the players conflicting advice.

She first advised maths teacher Paul to take the high offer, with The Beast seeing an opportunity for a joke as he goaded that she'd said that so she could "save the low offer" for herself later.

Next, Dolores told retired doorman Paul to opt for the low offer so he could try and ensure he got back as they nested a strong team for the final chase.

She finally recommended third contestant Arlene take the middle offer, seeing The Beast chuckle and Bradley look bemused over her conflicting advice to all three players.

Laughing, Mark said to Bradley: "Dolores set a show record there for the quickest change of advice ever."

Host Bradley joked Dolores shouldn't play poker as her flat honesty meant she says exactly how she’s feeling.

Dolores ended up taking the low offer of £1,000 as the last player to take on The Beast.

Mark said she made the right decision to take the low offer as it didn't make much difference to the prize pot.

Dolores looked stunned to have got all of the questions right as she breezed through to the final chase with ease.

After getting back to her panel of teammates, she said to Arlene how shocked she was and that it was "only right" that it was the two women that got through to the final.

Dolores then carried on the conversation with herself, as Bradley look bemused that she was seemingly talking to herself.

The Chase is back on Monday at 5pm on ITV.
