'Valiant' Beat The Chasers player gutted after losing £100,000

A Beat The Chasers player was left disappointed tonight after just missing out on £100,000.

Shelly from Newcastle told host Bradley Walsh that she came from a family of quizzers and loved quizzing.

Shelly said she loved shoes and that if she won some cash she wanted to go on a making shoes workshop and make her own designs.

In her cash builder Shelly managed to get £3,000 and The Chasers gave her a variety of options.

The top option was to play all five Chasers for £100,000 with them getting 53 seconds to answer their questions.

After deliberating for a few seconds Shelly said: "Lets go for the top, I came with nothing I might as well go home with £100,000."

Bradley and The Chasers applauded her bravery but despite a good start Shelly got stuck in the second half of her time and had a series of passes which slowed her down.

In the end she ran out of time with The Chasers having 26 seconds left on their clock.

Shelley looked close to tears after the battle, but The Chasers praised her game and said: "It was a valiant effort."

The Dark Destroyer said: "Hold your head up high Shelly, it was fantastic."

And viewers also praised Shelly's efforts.

Caroline said: "Aww Shelly, so good of Shaun to bring her up after she didn't get it though. He's such a great chaser."

Pan said: "Respect to Shelly for having a go. Better then winning a measly £1,000 ......"

Has Berkul said: "Bless her, she looked so nervous. At least she gave it a go. Can't knock her for that. Unlucky Shelly."

*Beat The Chasers continues at 9pm on ITV on Sunday
