The Chase fans outraged as Anne Hegerty delivers BRUTAL insult ‘How dare she!’
THE CHASE fans are usually used to seeing chaser Anne Hegerty dish out insults - but tonight some viewers were furious at the swipe she slung at one of the contestants.
'Fell out the stupid tree' Anne Hegerty taunts Chase contestant
Bradley Walsh was up to his standard banter in this evening’s The Chase, as he jovially chatted with today’s chaser Anne.
However Anne was on top form as well, managing to catch three of the four contestants.
The third contestant to go up against the chaser, was 31-year-old Rory, a tree surgeon from Suffolk.
Rory seemed confident entering his cash builder round and grabbed £3,000 to put on the table for the chaser.
Despite being offered £55,000, Rory decided to stick with what he had, saying: “It’s a team game, I’m going for the middle offer.”
Anne commented on his choice, saying: “Yes, I wasn’t hugely impressed by that cash builder round.
“I think somebody may have fallen out of the stupid tree.”
This sparked chaos on Twitter, as fans were seemingly shocked by Anne’s words.
I think somebody may have fallen out of the stupid tree
One viewer raged: “How dare Anne say Rory fell from the stupid tree!!!! #TheChase.”
Another fan echoed: “#TheChase oh dear lord stupid tree!!”
While another viewer agreed: “Fallen out of the stupid tree… and hit every branch on the way down #thechase #gangofchase.”
The head-to-head round saw Anne quickly catch up with Rory, leaving him four steps from home, with the chaser hot on his tail.
As the round came down to a final question, Rory was asked “Which ABBA Number One hit knocked ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ off the top spot, and is also mentioned in its lyrics?”
Rory incorrectly answered “Fernando,” leaving fans to comment on why he didn’t know the famous song.
One fan commented: “He deserves to be eliminated for getting that question about Queen wrong #TheChase.”
The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV.
