The Chase viewers were stunned to see The Chaser locked out of answering a question because of his lateness.
Bradley Walsh welcomed another four contestants on today's show ready to take on The Chaser. Mark "The Beast" Labbett was today's opponent but a rare moment on the show left him red-faced.
Mark is normally a force to be reckoned with but an amateur slip-up allowed the first contestant to breeze through to the final. First to take him on was Russel who was grateful for the mistake as it allowed a gap between them for the entirety of their head to head.

In an extremely rare moment for the show, The Chaser pondered a question for too long and was timed out preventing from him answering. Bradley immediately mocked him as he said: "Ooh, the chaser ran out of time."
Viewers were also left stunned by the slip-up as they shared their shock online. One viewer said: "The beast ran out of time - and on his birthday, no less!"
Another added: "Hahaha [he] ran out of time hahaha."
A third viewer said: "Mark ran out of time hahaha."
Other comments surfaced that consisted of laughing emojis mocking Mark's mishap. Due to his mistake, Russel managed to get through to the final with a £5,000 cash prize but his team was sadly wiped out as Mark was back on top form.
