The Chase's Paul Sinha 'hands in notice' as contestants scoop £100k prize pot
Paul was defeated by the two quizzers who won a whopping £100k between them. The Chase's Paul Sinha"hands in notice" after quizzers won £100,000. The ITV show host Bradley Walsh joked that 'The Sinnerman' needed to quit his role as a Chaser after the blunder. Brad said that the Chaser has "handed his notice in" after an "unbelievable" final round that saw the quizzers victorious. Players Ian, Jennie, Gregor and Karen all appeared on the quiz panel with the hopes of bagging some cash in the final chase. First up to take on the chaser was Ian, a magician from London, who managed to secure £6,000 in the cash builder. He managed to make it back to the team and landed himself a place in the final. Jennie then tried her luck but was unfortunately caught and was sent home. Karen then felt brave and opted for the high offer of £93,000. Fans of the show took to social media to praise her for going for the biggest amount of money. One said: "Good girl!," while a second added: "Karen didn't even stutter taking that high offer." The gamble paid off as she managed to also get into the final with Ian, which meant they had the chance to win £100,000 between them. The two players managed to answer 16 questions correctly in the final chase before Paul tried to beat them. However, Paul wasn't able to beat them as he usually would, which meant they walked away with £50,000 each. There was only one second left on the clock as Bradley said: "That was close." The Chaser then praise Ian and Karen as he added: "You absolutely deserve every penny of that." Paul then said he was disappointed with himself as he joked: "I've cost ITV £100,000 but you don't need to care about any of that." It was then that Bradley quipped: "That's a funny way to hand in your notice." Ian and Karen then spoke about how they planned to spend their winnings. Karen said she wanted to treat her son by taking him to the Abu Dhabi Formula One Grand Prix while Ian said he wanted to splash out on a brand new car. Despite the hefty defeat, it was recently revealed that The Sinnerman is the most successful Chaser. Paul 'The Sinnerman' Sinha boasts a 78 percent win rate across his 436 appearances on The Chase. The quiz guru's average target to beat is 19 and he holds the highest average Chaser win total, raking in £14,651, making him the most financially successful chaser on the show. Meanwhile, Mark Labbett, better known as 'The Beast' has a 76 percent win rate over 475 episodes since his start in 2009. Labbett, who was the show's inaugural Chaser, holds the record for the highest average target to beat, at 20, and the highest accuracy in the final chase, answering 83% of questions correctly.

Serious threat issued to EastEnders' Tommy after shocking incident is committed
Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall) is dealt a stark warning in EastEnders next week. As viewers of the BBC One soap know, the youngster has had quite a difficult year. He was taken into foster care after abusing mum Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace), and subsequently entered a friendship with an unknown online friend. It later transpired that his new mate didn't exist – it was artificial intelligence. Tommy faced ridicule from his peers, but there was one person who could see past it. Newcomer Joel Marshall (Max Murray) swanned into Albert Square from Australia, bringing with him a lorry load of new issues to put upon Tommy. He'd been forced to flee the country alongside dad Ross (Alex Walkinshaw) and his partner Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) when he upskirted a pupil in his class. Ross coughed up $50,000 in exchange for the girl's silence, but her family demanded that they also return to the UK. Joel has since gone on to introduce naïve Tommy to pornography, and recorded himself having sex with Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James). She's since received significant online backlash from teens who have found out they've slept together. In upcoming scenes, Joel's troubled behaviour worsens… and he entwines Tommy into the scheme. The boys are returning from a day out together, and when they board a tube, Joel whips out his phone and instructs Tommy to start recording. Stumbling through the carriage, he falls onto another passenger – Isla – and touches her inappropriately. Tommy is horrified by the encounter, and a furious Isla rushes over to the police at Walford East to ensure that Joel is apprehended. At the station, Ross demands answers from his son, while Vicki has her own matters to discuss. Cornering Isla, she assures her that she will take appropriate action to prevent Joel from committing such an act again. Vicki also swaps phone numbers, should Isla need to contact her in future.

After all, he was the one recording. View More » Will Tommy heed her warning, or will he do the morally right thing and turn on his mate?

"She was the kind of person who could comfort you with a just a few words, because she always spoke from the heart. She was sincere, intentional and compassionate. "But among her greatest qualities was the love she had for her family. It was no secret how close she was to her entire family or how excited she was when she got to start her own. "From getting engaged to Kevin and then getting married to becoming a mother with Emma and next with Jackson, Lauren beamed whenever she talked about all that she had with her beautiful family." The post concluded: "The devastating loss of Lauren is far-reaching and we all feel helpless in the wake of the grief. But we can come together now to help take care of the thing Lauren cherish beyond all else: her family."
