Fans of the hit ITV quiz show The Chase have praised the team who beat chaser Mark Labbett in Thursday night's episode. Contestants Fred, Ellie, Jas and Edward all reached the final chase and took on "The Beast."
After the four cash builder rounds the team had a whopping £25,000 in the pot and all four made it back comfortable. Working together as a team they managed to get an impressive 24 step lead over Mark Labbett in the final chase.
Despite his best efforts Mark failed to get several questions correct giving the team chances to push him back. With five seconds left on the clock the team pushed the chaser back once more meaning they were still six steps ahead.
