The Chase star Mark ‘The Beast’ Labbett failed to mince his words during the latest episode as he told a player to “get a life”.
The popular quizzing programme was back on screens on Monday (September 25) with host Bradley Walsh at the helm. Speaking to his first contestant named Jodi, Bradley went on to ask her about her interests and what she would spend her winnings if successful.
An enthusiastic Jodi went on to express her love for popular naughties band Westlife. She then revealed that she’s seen them live 119 times and longs to see them again.

But when faced with chaser Mark, he appeared to be less enthusiastic about her boy band obsession. He later predicted that Jodi would lose in their head-to-head and told her it would be “less Westlife and more get a life, now.”
Stunned by his statement, Jodi laughed it off. But unfortunately for the player, Mark sent her home earlier than expected as he managed to beat her during their head-to-head.
Meanwhile, fans at home headed over to X, formerly known as Twitter to comment on the fact that Jodi had seen Westlife 119 times. One viewer asked: “119 times? Does it not get boring after the first?”
Another penned: “Never mind seeing Westlife 119 times, I don’t even want to see them ONE time!” While a third said: “Didn’t know Westlife were still going.”
After Jodi’s early elimination, things weren’t looking great for the team as another player was taken out of the game shortly after. This resulted in Maggie and Aiden being the only players left on the team.
With all to play for, a nervous Maggie, who managed to get £7,000 in her cash builder round, was presented with a high offer of £100,000 when faced with Mark.
But given the fact that such a huge offer was on the table, fans were left gobsmacked and questioned where ITV got the money from. While others encouraged Maggie to go high.
Taking to social media again, one viewer said: “Turning your back on £100K, shambles.” While another fan cruelly penned: “Mark knows that these contestants don’t have the brain cells to go for the high offer hence the ridiculous high offers.”
Although Maggie took the safe route and was able to join Aiden in the final, it was still not enough for the pair. In the final round and with 14 questions to answer, Mark managed to beat the team with seconds to spare.
