The Chase's Jenny Ryan pulled up a contestant who called a teammate's offer an "insult".

Luke was second to take on the Chaser.

The 25-year-old from Abergavenny earned £6,000 in his cash builder round, and was then given three offers from Jenny.

Hassan, who had gone first and managed to bag an impressive £23,000 called Jenny's low offer for Luke - -£3,000 - "insulting".

Luke then opted to take the £6,000.

But before Jenny went head to head with him, she had a message for Hassan.

The Vixen said: "Hassan, I liked you and then you just used the 'i' word for the lower offer.

"It's never an insult, it's all about the gameplay and how much you want Luke back in the team."

Some viewers disagreed.

Taking to Twitter, InTheButtonJar said: "The low offer is an insult to the players who've earned a positive figure"

tvdramaspoonie said: "If everyone takes a low or minus offer there will literally be nothing to play for"

bngtnstrictly said: "The low offer is never an insult to the actual player, but it is to the rest of the team and you can tell on the rest of the team's faces"

Luke made it back to his team with the £6,000.

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