Bradley Walsh has branded a contestant on The Chase as “magic.”
The 61-year-old welcomed four new hopefuls during today’s episode (May 23), and one certainly made an impact.
45-year-old contestant Esther was third in line to face the chaser, but not before she wowed with her impressive cash builder result.
The solicitor from Brentwood won a whopping £10,000, answering every question in the round correctly.
As soon as Esther’s time was up, Bradley said: “Oh mate, that was unbelievable, truly.”
After finding out she answered 10 correctly, Esther gasped “No?” as she couldn’t quite believe it.
Bradley quipped: “You never missed one, that was magic.”
“Brilliant, truly brilliant. That’s very rare,” he added.
Today’s chaser, Jenny Ryan, was also impressed with Esther’s impressive quizzing skills as she quipped: “Your quizzing is just like your house, you’ve clearly done a lot of work on it.”
Esther’s fellow contestants also had to take the opportunity to compliment her on the magnificent display.
50-year-old Tony exclaimed: “Esther, that was fabulous. 10 grand is a hell of a lot of money, we could do with you definitely back in the team.”
While 28-year-old Ben said: “You did great in the first round, lets get you back here.”
Despite receiving a whopping £50,000 offer from The Vixen, Esther stuck with the 10 grand and sailed through to the final chase.
Viewers at home were straight on social media to comment on Esther’s brilliant and extremely rare result.
One user wrote: “The best I have seen. Very well played.”
“Bloody hell. I didn’t see that coming,” another viewer penned.
A third quipped: “#TheChase Wow she’s great, 10 questions right in the cash builder.”
While another said: “Wow what a BRILLIANT Player Esther is, she is capable of winning the final.”
Esther, Ben and Tony managed to beat the chaser after setting a score of 20 and delightedly went home with £21,000.
