Fans of ITV's The Chase were left bewildered by the actions of one contestant as they attempted to beat Chaser Darragh Ennis. Contestants Sara, Jordan, Nick and Lynne were the latest team welcomed onto The Chase by host Bradley Walsh, facing Darragh 'The Menace' Ennis.
The episode was full of suspense as just two players got through to the final, but viewers were left frustrated over one player's unusual move, as reported by The Express. Contestants Jordan and Nick were sent packing by the Chaser after being caught.
Lynne raised £5,000 in her cash builder round and added that money to the prize fund after beating Darragh in her second round, with Sara also adding an impressive £6,000 and joining Lynne for the all-important last round. However, viewers were baffled as to why Lynne had her hands behind her back during the round instead of over the buzzer.

"Keep your hand on the buzzer Lynn! #Thechase," Wildey fumed on Twitter. Jim Gamble said: "Perhaps Lynne would have done better if she had her hands somewhere near the button instead of behind her back #thechase."
Samantha posted: "Why is Lynne keeping her hands behind her back instead of by the buzzer? It's really slowing her down. #TheChase."
Fiona raged: "Why did she keep her hands behind her back in that round? #TheChase."
User Pink Giraffe added: "Why don’t they put their hand next to the buzzer to save time? #TheChase."
The women answered 13 questions correctly between them during the last round, but it was not enough to beat Darragh as the pair went home empty handed. After their round, Darragh told the players: "It really was a game of two halves.
"You were on course for 20 and doing so well - I was quite worried. Then the wheels came right off in the second minute."
Following Lynne and Sara's loss, the Chaser added: "It is a lot harder than it looks at home, I am the only person who has been on both sides and it is very nerve wracking."
The Chase airs on weekdays at 5pm on ITV and ITVX.
