Celebs win £150k for Unicef on The Chase Soccer Aid special
After four rounds where all four celebrities made it back, and the final chase, they took home an impressive six-figure sum for charity.
Fans have taken to social media full of joy after what was described as a "superb" win.
A post shared by Soccer Aid for UNICEF (@socceraid)
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), one said it was a "magnificent total", with the quarter getting a head start of more than 20.
Another said during the show: "This is the best episode of #thechase I've seen, they have to win this."
A third said: "Superb result guys, well done Sean."
Another added: "Wow what a well deserved win … such a great team! £150K."
The celebs set an impressive 23 score for Darragh "The Menace" Ennis to match in the final chase, which he was unable to do.

Gracious in defeat, he said while he would normally be disappointed, the team deserved it.
Some fans, however, wondered if the Irish-born chaser went easier on the team due to it being a charity special.
One person on social media described it as "a gift".
Another said: "Since it's for charity, do they make the questions easier and the chaser throws it in the end?"
"Darragh too is playing for Soccer Aid," another joked.
A third posted a picture of Darragh with the caption: "This man just let £150k go to Unicef. What a gentleman."

Future is bright for Reading as young guns upset Portsmouth
Seventeen-year-old Andre Garcia and Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan, 22, gave the Royals their first win of the season after back-to-back 2-0 defeats in League One. As well as Garcia, Hunt also started academy talents Ashqar Ahmed, 17, and Shay Spencer, 19. And the Irish manager said: 'This is the future of our football club. When you see the likes of Ashqar, Shay and Andre, the future is very bright. 'I think we were really good. Our boys were fantastic and the energy was really there. 'It's not easy when you bring in a bunch of strangers and try and get them on the same path, but it is coming.' Garcia bagged his first senior goal after poking in after Ben Killip had made a sensational double save to thwart Ehibhatiomhan, who kept his cool four minutes later to make it two. Teenage debutant Tayo Singerr diverted in Adrian Segecic's pin-point cross in stoppage time after coming off the bench but it did not put a smile on John Mousinho's face. The Pompey head coach said: 'I thought it was a poor performance and a poor result. We got what we deserved. 'There wasn't enough overall and it was disappointing. We made the changes but we expect more from the XI we put out. 'I thought we went under a bit after conceding the first goal, that isn't acceptable. I think heads dropped and then we went 2-0 and gave ourselves a mountain to climb.'
