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?

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.

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.

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."
