Mark Labbett was ready to surrender after he came up against a dominant team on today's The Chase.
The Beast was taking on Antony, Catherine, Heidi and Charlie on Tuesday's edition of the popular ITV programme. Antony was in seat one and he put in an impressive performance to proceed to the Final Chase with £4,000.
Catherine was next up and the full time mum earned £6,000 in a impressive cash builder. Bradley Walsh was wowed when she opted to go for the higher offer of £38,000.

Catherine had promised her daughter she would take the higher offer and it proved to be the correct decision when she managed to outrun The Beast. The team's imperious showing continued as Heidi added £4,000 to the cash haul when she defeated The Beast.
Mark thought Charlie may have been tempted to go for the lower offer since the overall cash total was so high. However, the 70-year-old decided to go for the £6,000 he had earned in his cash builder.
Fans on Twitter were wowed when Charlie slayed The Beast in the head-to-head as he answered all his questions correctly. Mark said: "That's how to smash the chaser, BOOM"
Anne added: "Well done Charlie" Mariann commented: "Charlie could've gone high."
Mark answered two questions incorrectly in the head-to-head and was ready to surrender the game. He said: "Has anyone got a white flag?"
However, the Chaser retaliated as he proceeded to put in a fine showing in the last round. The team built up 21 steps in their Final Chase and were favourites to take home the £52,000 cash prize.
The Beast was back to his dominant best as he caught the players with three seconds remaining.
