The Chase viewers furious with contestant's 'enabling' advice

The Chase viewers were left reeling after hearing a contestant's advice to her fellow player.

Bradley welcomed another set of players today ready to take home a hefty cash prize. Shaun "The Dark Destroyer" Wallace was the quizmaster and appeared to be in a generous mood with his offers.

The second contestant, Kate, caused a stir online as she broke the number one rule in The Chase's rulebook - don't take the low offer. She played a strong game, bagging herself £5,000 but eventually went low with only £1,000 in order to get back to her team.

Viewers were already in a tizzy over the decision but even more so when they declared she was subtly coaching the third contestant, Campbell, to also go low. He managed to score an average £5,000 but the subtle hinting to go with £-5,000 didn't go down well online.

One viewer said: "F*** Kate. Subtle low enabling there.... Well played for sticking with your 5k." Another added: "With the skill of an Oxford Street pickpocket, LOW Kate got through to get her sticky fingers on Ross’s winnings…"

A third viewer said: "BOOOO KATE." A final added: "So, Kate earned £5K, but took £1K. How much of her share of the prize fund should Kate lose if she makes it through to the final and wins?"

Campbell stuck with his guns and took the £5,000 offer but was eventually sent home by Shaun in no time. The team overall met their end as The Chaser finished them off with only four seconds remaining.
