Bradley Walsh asks contestant if she had 'many nights on the carpet'
The ITV quiz show was host to an extra enthusiastic player, causing host Bradley Walsh to nickname her Giggles.
Erika won the hearts of some viewers with her bubbly personality but her constant laughter left others wondering if she might have had a tipple or two.
The Chase fans flooded to Twitter to express their opinions, with some calling Erika "lovely" and "a ray of sunshine" while some questioned her high spirits.
"Is she drunk?" one viewer asked, while another commented: "I want what Erika is on, make it a double!"
One person tweeted: "Erika has some vodka hidden below the panel."
During her head-to-head round with Chaser Anne Hegerty, Erika faced one question that asked whether a night out dancing was referred to as a night on the carpet, lino or tiles.
Erika correctly answered tiles, at which point Bradley asked her: "Have you had many nights on the tiles?"
"A few," she answered, to which Bradley quipped: " "Have you had many nights on the carpet?"
Viewers were in hysterics when the giggly hopeful responded: "A few!"
Many at home fell head over heels for Erika, with one person saying: "Erika is the cutest thing I've ever seen on The Chase."
Another said: "That lassie on The Chase man, too cute."
