The Chase quiz expert Jenny Ryan was accused of being “rattled” on Wednesday’s episode, as contestant Jo played a blinder in the cash builder.
With Bradley Walsh firing quiz questions in her direction, Jo managed to earn £7,000, leaving her teammates impressed.
Turning to the Chaser, Jenny offered Jo three options – putting a generous high offer of £40,000 on the table.
Jo’s teammates offered her advice, letting her know which offer she ought to accept.
Contestant Rebecca, who already made it back to the table with money in-hand, suggested Jenny had seemed “rattled” by her performance.

She said: “Jenny stumbled on a question in my head to head, but I think you’ve got her rattled.”
Inspired by Rebecca’s words of wisdom, Jo then plumped for the high offer, hoping to get the £40,000.
Determined to earn enough cash to buy her own lighthouse, the stakes were high for the ITV contestant.
Unfortunately, the quiz hopeful fell at the final hurdle, and was booted off the show by Jenny.

Viewers were sad to see Jo leave the show, as they took to Twitter to praise her confidence in taking a risk with the high offer.
“Unlucky Jo. At least you had a go,” one said.
“B****n hell! That’s a shame but at least you tried, Jo,” agreed a second.
And a third penned: “At least Jo had the cahones to go high.”
Once Jo left the ITV studios, her teammate Richard followed in her footsteps and plumped for the high offer of £50,000.
The Yorkshire-born contestant was in luck, and he made it through to the final, bringing the team’s total to a whopping £60,000.
After a tense play-off, contestants Richard, Alex, and Rebecca managed to beat Jenny, winning a sensational £20,000 each.
Jenny finished the show by saying: “You did amazingly. You’ve earned every penny, enjoy it.”
The Chase airs on weekdays at 5pm on ITV.
