The Chase airs ‘worst final ever' as player is caught in 20 SECONDS – but could you get the right answers in time?
THE Chase has aired its 'worst final ever' which saw a singular player caught in just twenty seconds. It took The Beast quizzer Mark Labbett just five questions to knock out player Nicola but could you have answered all five in just twenty seconds? 3 The Chase viewers have called out the show's 'worst' ever final Credit: ITV 3 The Beast managed to wipe her out in 20 seconds Credit: ITV During the episode, three of the four players found themselves knocked out by The Beast. Bradley Walsh watched on as the players were whittled off one-by-one. In the end, only Nicola remained to take on the final chase but it was clear from the get-go she was out of her depth. Nicola getting to the final chase had already beaten the odds after she actually performed the worst in her cash builder round. She managed to accumulate just £2,000 in comparison to Casey's £5k and Ian's £8,000. However, both were eliminated before making it to the end. Determined to beat Mark, Nicola spent two minutes answering general knowledge questions but only managed to get a total of four right. This left her with a grand total of five including her one point head start. Admitting she had a "feeling she'd be caught", she was indeed thanks to Mark needing just twenty seconds to knock her out. Mark got all five questions right straight away - but would you have fared just as well? The Chase's Jenny Ryan gobsmacked as she wins Celebrity Catchphrase in record time Firstly, Bradley asked the star: "What type of fashion acceseroy is a trilby?" He answered correctly with "hat" before the star host moved onto the second question. Bradley asked him: "Eric 'Butterbean' Esch has 58 KOs in what sport?" The correct answer was boxing. For Mark's third question, he was asked: "Zodiac and Consul were brands by which carmaker?" Mark shot back quickly with the correct answer of "Ford" before Bradley asked him: "James Collinson was a member of which artistic brotherhood?" Whizzing through in just 15 seconds, Mark correctly identified the answer to be: "Pre-Raphelite." His final question to catch hapless Nicola was: "'Frosch' is the German word for what amphibian?" Hardest Quiz Show Questions Would you know the answers to some of quizzing TV's hardest questions Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history. Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: 'From the 2000 awards ceremony onwards, the Best Actress Oscar has never been won by a woman whose surname begins with which one of these letters?' The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000. - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history.

The 1% Club - Viewers of Lee Mack's popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed. The query went as follows: "Edna's birthday is on the 6th of April and Jen's birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir's birthday must be the 'X' of January." It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir's birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence. - Viewers of Lee Mack's popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed.

The Chase - The ITV daytime favourite left fans scratching their heads when it threw up one of the most bizarre questions to ever grace the programme. One of the questions asked the player: "Someone with a nightshade intolerance should avoid eating what?" The options were - sweetcorn, potatoes, carrots - with Steve selecting sweetcorn but the correct answer was potatoes. Claiming the title with more than one minute and forty seconds left on the clock, Mark affirmed: "Frog." Nicola's disaster performance led many viewers to quip that it was the show's "worst final ever". Commenting after the episode aired online, one viewer said: "I actually feel dumber from watching that episode [face palm emoji]." Another added: "That was the worst team I've ever seen." A third was quick to say of the "failure": "Never ever have I seen such a failure... 2k in the pot! ... Only 5 questions to be answered! "Done in 20 seconds! Shocking" As someone else echoed: "Shocking final chase."

Emmerdale legend returning to soap 26 years after she was killed off to quit acting for teaching
LEGENDARY Emmerdale star Glenda McKay is making a return to soap - 26 years after being killed off. The actress played Joe Tate's mother Rachel Hughes in the ITV soap for 11 years between 1988 and 1999. 3 Emmerdale legend Glenda McKay is making a return to soap acting Credit: Rex Features 3 The actress appeared in the ITV soap for 11 years Credit: Alamy 3 Rachel's character will be involved with Sally and Tim on the cobbles Credit: ITV She famously stepped away from acting shortly after leaving, having joined the soap at 17 alongside her real-life brother Craig McKay. But now she's making a return to screens - and soap - in sister show Coronation Street. A source said: 'Glenda is making an acting comeback 13 years after she was last on TV - she'll be playing a social worker called Alison Hale who deals with Tim and Sally. 'Just as she arrives to tell them they're set to foster the Michealis children, a shocking incident happens that throws everything into chaos.' The actress bowed out of Emmerdale in 1999 with Rachel being dramatically killed off in a domestic abuse storyline. At the time Glenda said: "I've been at Emmerdale for 11 years so it is a big change, but there comes a time when you have to go. 'I have other strings to my bow, and now seems like the right time to put them to the test." More than a decade later she returned to the soap as a visitor after taking a step back from acting to become a teacher. She took her class on a visit to the soap's set and reunited with some of her co-stars. 'The children were delighted to meet Chris Chittell who answered all their questions about what it is like to be famous and what is involved in being a soap actor,' she told the Ilkley Gazette at the time. Emmerdale villain returns to torture Joe Tate in grisly scenes 'It really was quite a trip for the class and I was delighted that they all behaved well and represented their school with pride. 'They also all appreciated how fortunate they were and were genuinely bowled over by their experience.'
