Jenny Ryan, also known as The Vixen, was taken aback during an episode of The Chase when contestant Sinclair made a daring move that stunned both viewers and the Chaser herself. The team comprising Cammy, Sinclair, Ore, and Katherine were ready to challenge one of Britain's top quiz minds.
Katherine stepped up first on the popular ITV show, earning £3,000 in the Cash Builder round before going head-to-head with Jenny Ryan. Katherine excelled, returning to her squad with £3,000 and starting the group's winning fund.
‌
Ore, buoyed by Katherine's success, added an impressive £5,000 from his Cash Builder to the pot. He too secured a place in the final, pushing the total to £8,000, reports the Liverpool Echo.
‌
However, it was Sinclair who became the talk of the town with his quizzing prowess, nabbing £4,000 before squaring off against The Vixen. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter
An uncharacteristic slip-up by the Chaser over a historical question concerning Abraham Lincoln left everyone bemused. Bradley Walsh posed the query: "How long after he delivered the speech known as Gettysburg Address did Abraham Lincoln die? A) 17 days, B) 17 weeks or C) 17 months."
Despite the correct answer being 17 months, Jenny incorrectly guessed 17 days followed by an explanation from The Chaser about her mistake.

One viewer took to Twitter, commenting: "Jenny don't tie yourself in knots overexplaining."
Another chimed in saying: "Vixen hush. You didn't know that Abraham Lincoln question and that's ok."
Sinclair managed to clinch a place in the final, much to viewers' astonishment, particularly after his brazen reaction to winning.
‌
As he rejoined his team, Sinclair gestured boldly towards The Chaser and quipped: "She didn't like that did she?", leaving The Vixen somewhat lost for words as she remarked: "I don't know what to say."
Frustrated yet determined, she added: "He slipped through my fingers there. I'm annoyed about that but you know what I'm still going to beat them, especially after all that shenanigans."
Bradley Walsh sensed the tension on set and observed: "There's a bit of taunting going on here."
‌
Meanwhile, fans flocked online to discuss Sinclair's audacious behaviour.
A social media user exclaimed: "OMG just saw what Sinclair did to the Vixen and had to get on here."
One enthusiastic fan added their two pence on platform X: "Giving her shade yes! !" While another posted: "Too cocky for my liking."

Sinclair's victory brought the total fund up to £12,000 ahead of Cammy's attempt to outwit The Chaser. Despite collecting an impressive £7,000 in the Cash Builder round, Cammy was ousted by The Vixen.
In the final chase, Sinclair, Katherine and Ore managed a score of ten, which unfortunately wasn't enough to beat The Chaser. The Vixen showcased her impressive general knowledge prowess, finishing with one minute and thirty seconds still on the clock.
