The Chase hit by ‘fix' claims as chaser Jenny Ryan wins after controversial answer
THE Chase has been hit by fix claims after viewers insisted Jenny Ryan won after giving a WRONG answer. The popular ITV quiz format recently aired a repeated episode of the programme in which many viewers claim that a wrong answer was accepted as correct - and ultimately caused the team to lose against The Vixen. 3 Jenny Ryan's answer on The Chase has proved a talking point Credit: ITV 3 Fans have insisted she gave an incorrect answer on the show Credit: ITV In the episode, hosted as always by Bradley Walsh, Jenny was taking on the day's remaining players in the Final Chase round. Nick from Liverpool, Laura from Bolton, Aiden from Falkirk, and Vivienne from Bracknell, were all hoping to prove successful and show that they had better brains than flame-haired Jenny. As the episode neared its end, only Laura and Nick managed to make it through as they played for a rather small final amount of £3,000. They correctly got 14 answers before Jenny did her best to try and better them. Read More on The Chase But as her round of questions got underway, one of them became a talking point online. Bradley asked Jenny: 'What colour indicates semi-skimmed milk on bottles?' It took Jenny a few seconds to give an answer as it became clear that she was not overly confident on the question. Having paused for a few moments, she then replied to Bradley, saying: "It's red and silver." Most read in News TV Bradley immediately told her that he would "accept" her answer but it instantly sparked furore online. Many were quick to argue that semi-skimmed milk featured a green top and that Jenny's answer was incorrect and should have been voided. The Chase fans left screaming as player gets 'ridiculously easy' question wrong - but would you know the answer- Reacting in shock online, one fan penned: 'Excuse me? Semi-skimmed is GREEN!' Another also echoed the sentiment as they wrote: 'Incorrect answer from #TheVixen given as correct? They were one correct answer away from winning!' A third went on to write: 'Semi-skimmed milk carton tops are Green (or white), NOT RED, which is skimmed milk... What is going on here?' Before someone else stated: 'Am I going mad? I'm sure the question was about the colour of tops on semi-skimmed milk. "The Chaser said red and silver... it's green. Or did I mishear?' Jenny's answer was not wholly incorrect as it appeared that she was referring to traditional glass bottles often delivered by milkmen. Glass bottled semi-skimmed milk has traditionally featured a red and silver top. However, when bought from supermarkets in a carton, which is the more widely accessible option, the bottle lid is in fact green. It is likely that Jenny took the question literally to make sure she referred to a "bottle" as opposed to a carton in order to ensure a correct answer was given.

Seeming the idea of the song being option 'B: Way Down' was too much for the presenter to handle. The Double Trouble special To celebrate 15 years of The Chase on screens, ITV launched a special 'double trouble' episode where contestants faced off against not one but two of the show's beloved Chasers. And despite the odds, the contestants managed to go home with some cash! The contestants with famous names Eagle-eyed ITV fans are always quick to spot interesting and sometimes hidden details on the quiz show - but there have been a few times where the names of some contestants have been overtly obvious. For example, one 2017 episode of the quiz show saw Bradley welcome four contestants who were named after Friends characters Ross, Rachel, Phoebe and Joey. Another group of contestants with named from The Simpsons were also grouped together in another episode, much to viewers' amusement. The Beast's anger gets the best of him During an episode from the 2024 season, Mark Labbett let out his inner beast as he exploded in a fit of anger. Close to losing the competition in the Final Chase, Mark then made a silly mistake and incorrectly answered the question, 'Rabbit was a 1980 hit for which Cockney duo?' 'Oh, you idiot!' he yelled at himself while slamming the table in front of him. With seconds left on the clock, the Chaser then admitted defeat, moaning "I don't deserve to win."

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. 3
