The Chase fans were left on the edge of their seats after three contestants won a total of £66,000 by getting eight pushbacks against the 'Dark Destroyer'.

The ITV hit show presenter, Bradley Walsh welcomed four new players on this week's first edition of the popular ITV game show.

Emma, Jonathan, Lizz and Brian were testing their wits against The Dark Destroyer in a bid to take home some cash.

Although they had quite a win, some fans of The Chase were surprised when Bradley Walsh effectively "gave the answer" to one of the contestants.

Emma was up first, and during her cash builder round she was asked the question "Which animal is Alberta Gator, the mascot of the University of Florida?"

Unfortunately, Emma's answer was incorrect.

She said "crocodile", and the right response would have been an alligator.

Some viewers thought the question was too easy, and even suggested it had included the right answer, one viewer said: "Bradley gave her the answer and she still said crocodile I can't #TheChase"

Later on, Emma, Brian and Lizz made it to the Final Chase, and the impressive team managed to win a whopping £66k from Shaun, who kept getting knocked back after numerous wrong answers.

The Chase fans took to social media to congratulate the worthy winners, one user said: "YES!! What a way to to start the week with a BIG win!"

Another added: "Yes, Brian in #TheChase was quality!"

Another said: "66k on the chase !!! Mad mad"
