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.

She explained: "I've been in the house and I've had, you know, like delivery drivers coming round and they've dropped off a delivery and then James is going, 'oh my gosh, it's 20 minutes later, where is she?' and I've been in the back of the van talking to the driver." Panellist Janet Street Porter joked: "Doing it for nothing?" Joanna said: "He' just been like, 'well I don't know what to do with my relationship, with my girlfriend.

I'm just talking to him about his relationship with his girlfriend and what he should do'." Janet replied: "Before you train as a counsellor, I can see you'd be very good if they can get a word in edgeways," leaving Joanna laughing.

The book discusses, "From Swansea to Stacey and Everything in Between" and will be released at the end of September.

She said: " I hand them over at 5pm to James and then I'll get in the car and I'll drive down to this local car park of this pub, which is changing hands, so there's nobody there. Article continues below "I park in the car park until 1am and I write and then I get scared so I drive to another car park which is slightly closer to home. I sit there until 3am and then I drive home, park outside the front of the house. I don't go in because Boe will sense me and I sit there until 5am. I then go back into the house and sleep for two hours, get up at 7am and get them ready for school." She joked that coffee was the only thing that was keeping her awake on the show, before recounting that writing the book was like therapy as she looked back at her life and admitting that she wanted to do more acting.

Helen Flanagan admits to one 'body insecurity' as she confides in her fans
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Helen Flanagan, once a paragon of body confidence through numerous high-profile modelling stints post-Coronation Street, has acknowledged feeling some insecurities after motherhood. Previously dazzling fans with photo shoots for men's magazines at 34, Helen has admitted to losing that self-assuredness regarding her appearance. On Instagram, the ex-Coronation Street actress and partner to footballer Scott Sinclair, got real with followers about noticing "cellulite." READ MORE - Victoria Beckham sends Brooklyn pointed message in Father's Day post READ MORE - King Charles utters 'disgrace' to Queen Camilla during 'heated exchange' In her latest 'Get Ready With Me,' Helen swaps her pink pyjamas for striking blue lace lingerie, showcasing a physique many would envy. She confided to fans that her weight fluctuates with the state of her love life and stress levels, reports the Mirror. Exhibiting her figure in new lingerie, she expressed contentment over being part of the brand's editing process. Emphasising self-acceptance, she advised fans: "Even though sometimes you don't feel so confident or toned, just got for it. Even though I've got cellulite and my body isn't as toned as it used to be, I just thought, 'you know what Helen go for it, you only live once.'". Transformed for a night out, Helen presented the finishing touch - a chic denim dress, looking every bit the star ready for the spotlight. However, this news comes shortly after she was spotted on a night out at Wayne Lineker's popular Ibiza bar. In a candid post on Instagram, Helen confessed to feeling severely hungover, comparing herself to a "lizard." She shared: "I am really hungover, I am like a lizard. I am not drinking for a long time. I know I will feel better tomorrow. I have the school run tomorrow. Oh my god. I literally got in at six in the morning." Despite her fame from the ITV soap, Helen appears to be facing financial difficulties. The former soap star has had to lower the asking price of her six-bedroom, 5,000 square foot home from £1.5million to £1.195million. Reports suggest that Helen's financial struggles began after her 13-year relationship with Scott ended in 2022, leaving her with three children. Following a year-long romance, Helen also recently split with Robbie Talbot.

Stella McCartney 'threatening wildlife' with £5m Highland home plans
The latest objection to the fashion designer's plans says the proposed development will affect a "scenic and peaceful" area full of wildlife. Stella McCartney has suffered a fresh blow in her plans to build a £5m home in the Highlands after she was accused of threatening wildlife with the "habitat damaging intentions of a celebrity". The 53-year-old fashion designer - daughter of Beatles legend Paul and animal rights activist Linda - has been attempting to build a plush hideaway on the Moidart Peninsula in Lochaber. However, it has been plagued by planning issues, forcing her and husband Alasdhair Willis to try to publicly defend their project, insisting that "this is where we want to be". The couple submitted their planning application to The Highland Council in February 2023, after purchasing the plot of land for £450,000. In the latest complaint registered on the plans, a long-term visitor to the area fears the proposed structure would kill off a haven for wildlife. The area is said to attract seals, porpoises, otters and several bird species. An extremely rare White Stork was also recently spotted there. In his objection, Professor Calum Sutherland said he feared this could all be lost if the application is granted planning permission. He and his family have visited Roshven Bay every summer for the last ten years, just below where the building work is proposed. He wrote: "We choose this area as it is peaceful, relatively unspoiled and full of wildlife. The number of dwellings around the bay, and the number of wild campers, has increased steadily over the last five years. "This has not led to significantly increased noise or light pollution on the shore areas, but the current proposal appears to be taking things to a new level.

"The size and design of the buildings, extending out to be clearly visible from almost every direction across the bay, with significant upgrading of transport access near to quiet wildlife havens is highly likely to have a significant impact on wildlife habitat and visitor experience." Prof Sutherland said on several occasions they had witnessed a family of otters hunting along the shore right below the proposed development. He added: "These along with the birdlife (including Great Northern Divers, Gannets and black throated divers), seals and porpoises we have seen on almost every visit, will most likely not cope with the proposed escalation in noise and light pollution. "Wildlife tourists will be forced away from what has until now been a scenic and peaceful vacation area. "Indeed, this year we were blessed to witness a visit from a White Stork, highly rare in the UK, never mind the Highlands. It is a shame that the ability of so many individuals to experience such an idyllic wildlife area will be aversely affected by the habitat damaging intentions of a celebrity." A previous complaint - thought to be from a birdwatcher - had earlier claimed the presence of Ring Ouzel, Wood Warbler and Redstart mean further studies should be done later in the year, which would delay the project by another six months. He wrote: "Because a field survey has only been carried out on a single day in a single month - December - the ecological appraisal is incomplete. "It fails to acknowledge that a corresponding survey between June and September would reveal butterflies and other insect life plus summer-visiting birds which may include declining species such as Ring Ouzel, Wood Warbler and Redstart, all of which would be vulnerable to human disturbance. "It would thus be remiss of the planning authority to determine this application in advance of a further field survey which should be carried out on at least one day between June 1 and September 15." The backlash against the plans for the glass-fronted home have become so fierce that Alasdhair Willis was recently forced to publicly defend it. The application for the four-bedroom property has attracted more than 60 objections. Mr Willis previously told the Press and Journal: 'This is where we want to be. "It is not a case of waking up one day and thinking this was what we wanted on a whim. This has been our life plan." The planning application remains under consideration by Highland Council.
