The Chase fans name Scottish contestant 'luckiest ever' as she makes major comeback

ITV fans have named a Scottish player the "luckiest contestant ever" after she made a major comeback on Tuesday night's episode of The Chase (March 21).

Four players went head to head with Mark 'The Beast' Labbett, but the team wasn't off to the best start after the first two players were sent home.

However, 32-year Steph from Scotland stepped up to try and salvage the game and win some cash.

She bagged just £1,000 in the cash builder but decided to take a risk and go for the high offer on the table of a whopping £40k. Although they admired her bravery, viewers thought she would be the next one to leave with nothing.

But she soon proved then wrong when she answered her questions correctly and took £40k back to the prize pot, leaving the viewers highly impressed.

One said: "If Carlsberg did Chase performances..."

Another added: "Finally a chase contestant with guts! One in the cash builder, does the high offer and gets it. Exactly how you should play!"

A third added: "Fortune favours the bold... and the stupid apparently. Luckiest player ever."

While a fourth wrote: "Well that woke me up. Well done Steph. Well, how did she get through," accompanied by several three leaf clover emojis.

Player Zaki was next up and managed to join Steph in the final after bringing home £7k.
As the players headed into the final, even host Bradley commented on their amazing rebound.

"Thought you were going to get hammered today but you played really really well. A game of two halves," he said.

However the luck soon ran out after they only answered 15 questions and were beaten by the chase.
