Chaser Jenny Ryan hits out at online troll after being called 'banterless'

A Chaser has hit out at an online troll after they made a rude comment online, labelling her "banterless".

Jenny Ryan, known on the ITV quiz show as The Vixen, fired back at the tweet during a mid-week episode. Jenny shared a picture on her account, blurring out the username and profile image of the user.

The comment read: "Jenny the banterless does stand up comedy. What could possibly go wrong? Lol." But after catching her attention, Jenny was quick to circle the word "lol" which means 'laugh out loud'.

She replied: "Well, I already got one laugh out of you and I wasn't even trying!"

Fans were quick to show their support as one person described the comment as "awful and rude," and another wrote: "Ignore them Jenny they can be so rude." A third joked: "Out Loud!" Too" coupled with the crying laughing emoji.

Last month, Mark Labbett defended his co-star Jenny over a comment she made to a contestant on Beat The Chasers. After telling a contestant that going for the higher amount was "classic greed", some viewers were not happy with the choice of words.

But 'The Beast' Mark Labbett defended his co-star, writing on Twitter during the episode. He said: "Jenny called it right, went too high, then crashed and burned".

Earlier in the week, Jenny again found herself as the subject of conversation on Twitter after a contestant claimed she was the weakest of the show's quiz master's and therefore easiest to beat, reports the Star. Options appeared to be divided as people took to social media to share their thoughts.

One person said: "Jenny Ryan easiest to beat?. Well if that's the case then why do most contestants Go for the middle offer instead of all going High? If the questions fall right no one could be beaten." As another disagreed: "Jenny Ryan is the easiest chaser to beat."
