'Where do they get these people from?' The Chase viewers cringe as contestant gives embarrassing answer to 'obvious' geography question

Viewers tuning in to last night's episode of ITV's The Chase were left cringing as one contestant gave a 'foolish' answer to an 'obvious' question.

One shocked fan even took to Twitter to ask: "Where do they get these people from?"

Hannah, who appeared on the family edition of the hit game show, was asked by host Bradley Walsh: "What Caribbean country is the athlete Asafa Powell from?" during the final quick-fire round.

Fans were horrified as a panicked Hannah reluctantly answered with: "Africa."

Despite being the only contestant to make it all the way to the finale, viewers couldn't help but share their shock at Hannah's blunder.

One viewer tweeted: "Wait, the question to the contestant was, “what country is the athlete Asafa Powell from?” This fool says, “Africa......” #TheChase "

A second added: "'Name a Caribbean country?' Africa'.... can you actually believe this just came out of a girls mouth on The Chase smh."

"Person on The Chase thought Africa was a Caribbean country and now I’m furious." A third put.

Another wrote: "Where do they get these people from? last time I checked Africa was not a Caribbean country #TheChase "

"I literally can't believe what I am hearing. This girl has just said Africa is in the Caribbean," someone else chimed.

One even said: "Anyone who thinks Africa is an island in the Caribbean doesn't deserve to win."

However, another added: "She has done ever so well by herself!"

The Chase continues on Monday at 5pm on ITV
