ITV The Chase fans hit back as 'unfair' question sees player caught

Many The Chase viewers were left disappointed during Tuesday's episode after a contestant left the studio following an "unfair" question.

Bradley Walsh welcomed four new players to the game. Nick, Sue, Rob and Kathryn arrived to take on one of Britain's biggest brains in the hopes of bagging some cash.

Nick was up first, answering a decent six questions correctly in his cash builder. It was then revealed the team would be up against the Sinnerman, aka Paul Sinha, and Nick made it back to the team with £6,000.

Similarly, Sue also took the middle offer and returned to the table with a potential £5,000.

Rob was up third, along with his guide dog, and he said he wanted to use any winnings to get a Braille computer. Fans at home were rooting for him, especially after he took the high offer of £45,000.

He fared well as he went head to head with the Chaser, until a final question caught him out. Bradley asked him how many numbers there are on a standard UK barcode.

Rob incorrectly answered nine, with the right answer thirteen, and it was this that cost Rob his place in the game. Many fans at home thought the question was unfair.

Taking to Twitter, Paul said: "Bloody harsh question that", while Danielle said: "That was a bit mean!". Sam said: "Unfair of the question writers to ask a blind person how many numbers there are on a barcode, and Ash said: "Surely he should've had a different question?"

ITV has been approached for comment.

The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV and ITVX
