The Chase fans were left fuming after noticing a contestant’s “predictable” tactics.
Bradley Walsh returned to host another episode of the popular ITV game show and welcomed four new hopefuls.
The fourth contestant was Will, a mortgage broker from London, and it wasn’t long before viewers picked up on his tactics.
51-year-old Soo was the first player in line and scored £7,000 in her cash builder.
When deciding which offer to take from Anne Hegerty, Will chimed: “I think you should go for the higher offer, if you want to fly to America, you should go, first-class – take the higher offer.”
Up next was 26-year-old Dom who scored an impressive £8,000 in his cash builder, but The Governess tempted him with £30,000.

When he turned to speak to the panel, Will said: “Dom I think £30,000 is a fantastic offer, make your dreams come true.”
Viewers began to pick up on Will’s tactics and immediately took to social media.
One user penned: “Think will was desperate for someone to go high so he could go low #TheChase.”
“Waiting to see if Will goes high, after telling the others to,” another tweeted.

Office manager Nicola was the third contestant to play and was offered £37,000 to move a step closer to the chaser.
Will quipped: “Well I don’t want to sound like a broken record but £37,000 seems like a great option.”
Eventually it came to Will’s turn and Anne, 63 said: “You’ve told everyone else to go high, will you have the nerve yourself?” before offering him a whopping £62,000.
The mortgage broker decided to stick with the £7,000 he earned in the cash builder because there was “no one telling [him] to take the higher offer.”

Fans immediately took to social media to fume over Will’s “predictable” tactics.
One wrote: “Will telling everyone else to go high but taking the middle offer himself, how predictable.”
“Will. You absolute di**head. Tell everyone else to go high,” another fumed.
While a third said: “Sneaky Will telling everyone to go high, then he shoots for the middle.”
Despite taking the middle offer, Will was caught by The Governess and missed out on the final chase.
