"You spineless weasel" - The Chase viewers FUMING as contestant does the unthinkable

Fans of The Chase were left fuming after one contestant did the unthinkable and took the minus offer on tonight's episode.

The final contestant to go head-to-head with the Chaser was mum and aspiring DJ Fran, who gave an underwhelming performance against The Vixen.

However, despite her remaining team mates encouraging her to stick with her middle offer of £2,000, Fran made a seriously unpopular choice in accepting a minus offer.

Her decision knocked £2,000 off the team's total, taking them from a £11,000 prize fund down to £9,000 between three of them.

The choice did not go down well with viewers, who took to Twitter to slam Fran for accepting a minus offer.

Gemma Dunning said: "I would be fuming at her taking the minus right now".

Michael said: "Just plain rude taking the minus offer."

Lauren said: "I could never be friends with someone who took a minus on The Chase."

Leah Tustin said: "I certainly would not be shaking her hand".

In a seriously scathing tweet, Mic said: "-£2k offer and another spineless weasel wants to jump on the coat tails of others hard work. Hope you get caught Fran."

However, Fran didn't get caught and made it home to compete in the final against the Chaser, with the team beating Jenny Ryan to take home the £9,000 prize pot.

Jennifer Agu joked on Twitter: "If Fran wins, ITV needs to take two grand out of her bank account."

*The Chase continues on 5pm on ITV on Wednesday
