ITV The Chase fans unhappy after 'right' answer is 'not allowed'

ITV's The Chase fans were left disappointed after a contestant was not given a point for a "right" answer during Tuesday's show.

The week's second instalment of the much-loved TV quiz show saw Jan, Phil, Ellie and Roddy take on one of Britain's biggest brains in the hopes of winning some cash. They had to pit their wits against Anne Hegerty, aka The Governess.

Third up was student Ellie, from Brighton. She scored £3,000 in her cash builder round.

But some viewers at home argued it should have been £4,000 after she was told she got a question wrong but shouldn't have. Bradley asked her which Scottish whisky has the slogan "Famous for a reason"?

Ellie, who happened to be dressed in tartan, said: "Famous groose" [sic]. Bradley said: "No, Famous Grouse". Later, Ellie joked she had been doing the accent as her outfit had inspired her.

Fans were completely on her side. Taking to Twitter, Matt said: "Gotta deserve the point there surely", while Jordan said: "Give her the point for famous groose! Loads of Scots up here say it".

Alan Park said: "Famous Groose, aye nae bother hen", while Chris said: "Famous Grouse not allowed cos she pronounced it differently?" and Andy Dowling said: "Give her 'Famous Groose!'", adding that it was "tight". Kat said: "She got that right! Should get a bonus point for the accent".

The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
