Who is The Chase winner Eden? All you need to know about the lad who bagged £75k

The Chase fans were left in awe on Tuesday night as quiz show history was made.

Jobless contestant Eden Nash, aged 20, beat Chaser Darragh Ennis and walked away with a record breaking £75,000.

In nailbiting scenes, Eden answered 18 questions correctly and then it became clear that the young man - from Bishop Stortford - was in for the win when Darragh then got several questions wrong.

The whopping win means that Eden, who is currently not working, is the ITV show's biggest ever solo winner in terms of the cash prize.

Eden is clearly proud of the massive achievement and has changed his Twitter bio to reflect his win by penning: "The Chase...is on!"

He has also pinned a Tweet to the top of his profile - that he opened in December 2020 - which says: "The Chase? Completed it mate."

The message has been liked over 5,000 times and retweeted by 299 fans.

Eden's profile snap on the micro-blogging site shows him sitting on a bench overlooking a stunning view with a big black dog on a lead for company.

His banner snap shows him attending a wedding and he can be seen beaming alongside the bride dressed in a sauve ensemble.

Eden appears to be an animal lover and often retweets messages calling for the ban of animal testing.

He also seems to support football team Manchester United with his timeline featuring memes from the club.

The lad is also a fan of comedina Ricky Gervais - whose clips are on his page.

Plenty of people impressed by Eden's quiz knowledge have congratulated him online - with some intrigued to know what he did with the cash.

One nosey fan typed: "This is first class tweeting. What a performance today, lad. Have you spent it yet or you still looking at it in your account?"

Another added: "Absolutely fantastic!! I was screaming at the telly!! I watch The Chase every single day and this has to be my favourite episode!! Well done you deserved every penny so happy for you."

More joined in: "Smashed it more like. Well done, you were brilliant. We were roaring for you in our kitchen! Enjoy the money" and "Watched it chum fairplay spend it wisely ... Lol."

Eden is also on Instagram but is not a savvy social media user as he has only uploaded six photos on the application.

The previous biggest ever solo win on the show was a contestant named Judith who won £70,000 back in 2019.

As Bradley realised what had happened, he told Eden: "I can't believe it! This is incredible, he's 20 years old and just won £75,000.

"It's the single highest win in daytime history."

Quizzer Darragh also had his say, telling the contestant: "You did very well, it was all about the pushbacks in the end."

Having previously been asked what he would do with any prize money, Eden had said: "I suppose a car would be nice.. But nothing snazzy. Just anything with four wheels."

The Chase airs weeknights at 5pm on ITV.
