Paul Sinha has explained a "brutal" Dirty Dancing question that featured on Beat The Chasers tonight.
Fans have been taking to Twitter to complain about a question which appeared on the ITV programme during tonight's special episode, as The Chasers took on a string of hopefuls that wanted to bag the big cash prize on offer.
The last hopeful of the night, Steven, managed to beat The Chasers by choosing the option of taking three of them on for a chance to win the £25,000 prize pot, but fans were left puzzled as Bradley Walsh branded Paul's answer as incorrect.
"What Patrick Swayze film became a West End musical..." Bradley said, to which Paul buzzed in and answered: "Dirty Dancing!"
However, Bradley then told Paul his answer was incorrect, and in fact, the answer was Ghost, leaving The Chasers visibly shocked. Fans also took to Twitter to vent out it, insisting it couldn't be incorrect.
"How come Dirty Dancing wasn’t right?! #BeatTheChasers," one fan wrote online.
A second added: "Dirty Dancing is definitely a musical though? #BeatTheChasers," as a third person shared on social media: "The Patrick Swayze question isn’t that dirty dancing? #BeatTheChasers."
Paul took to Twitter after the episode aired to clarify why he was told he was wrong with his answer.
"That was episode 1. When we're chasing the game, mistakes are made. But that Dirty Dancing/Ghost call was brutal. Just to clarify, the swayze q hadn't finished."
One fan replied: "That’s what I thought! Patrick Swayze was the male lead in both films and Dirty Dancing is a musical in the West End ... I don’t understand!?" to which Paul then added: "There was going to be a year in the second part of the question."
Australian Chaser Issa Schultz - whose nickname is the Super Nerd - stepped in for Anne Hegerty, The Governess, who was not on the show tonight because had Covid at the time of filming.
"I got a last-minute call to step into The Governess’s cold and chilly shoes. What a delight. It was close to 1am Brisbane time - I’m a night owl and my Australian boss said to the UK bosses: ‘Just call him, he’ll be up,'" he shared, "And then I was on the plane, I think it was close to 9am that very morning. As they say, the show must go on! I’d be foolish not to do it."
