Tonight's team on The Chase left happy despite missing out on £112,000.

But host Bradley Walsh pointed out the winning could have been a staggering amount higher as each of the three remaining players - Ivan, Michele and John - all managed to outrun the Chaser by answering every single question in the head to head round correctly.

The presenter said: "Here's the thing right. If all three players had of gone high, you could have been playing for £131,000 now." Mark said: "All three of them got every question right."

He added: "I'll make a prediction you don't often hear from my lips - 23. Ivan will get them to 20 and the other two will get them the rest of the way." Bradley said: "No way, really?"

But Mark's prediction wasn't so generous to the team after all as he added: "I'll make one more prediction... They will lose."

In the final round's two minute time frame, the team had a three question head start and managed to answer 20 questions correctly meaning that the Chaser had to face a total of 23. Referring to the earlier prediction, Ivan said: "He called it."

Ahead of Mark's turn to answer questions, Bradley said: "Going to be close this. Ready?" Mark said: "No but let's do it."

While one part of Mark's prediction was correct, the second part was wrong. After six pushbacks, four of which were answered correctly, the team won with 18 seconds left to spare.
