ITV The Chase viewers claim the quiz show got a question wrong

The Chase viewers took to Twitter today claiming that Bradley Walsh had asked a "wrong question".

Matt, a travel coordinator, was on the show today hoping to win the big cash prize so he could fund a trip to New Zealand.

But he found himself unknowingly embroiled in a Twitter row after answering a question in the cash builder.

Host Bradley asked the 44-year-old to finish the lyrics of a M&M's advert from the 1980s, which began "They melt in your mouth, not in your..."

At first Matt assumed he was talking about the rapper Eminem, but upon realising Bradley was asking about the confectionery, he then went on to answer "hand".

However, viewers took to Twitter to say that Bradley had got the question wrong.

Many claimed that the advert was actually for Minstrels, not M&Ms and some even said the advert was for the classic sweet 'Treets'.

Heidi said: "I thought Minstrels melted in your mouth. Not M&Ms."

Jen wrote: "That was Minstrels not M&Ms"

Another user said: "I thought it was Minstrels that melt in your mouth not your hand."

And Tony tweeted: "I thought it was Treets, but I'm before everybody's time."

However, one Twitter user helpfully answered everyone's assumptions, saying: "The slogan was used for both M&M's and Minstrels."

They shared a screenshot from Wikipedia which said: "Minstrels had the slogan 'They melt in your mouth, not in your hands', featuring in 1980s British advertisements, the same slogan used in the UK for Treets in the 1960s and for M&Ms."
