The Chase viewers were left fuming after one player wound them up more than most.
On Monday’s episode (April 15), contestant Angus took on quiz pro Anna Hegerty. However, fans were left seething when he took the low off of -£1,000.
ITV host Bradley Walsh hosted the show whilst the contestant was given three offers, the minus, £4,000 and £40,000. His teammates even urged him against the minus offer – but he still took it as Anne’s performance on the day had put him off.

One teammate said: “Don’t take the minus, don’t take the 40, bring the four back. We need you here.” However, Angus told Bradley: “I’m feeling a little bit daunted after seeing how well Anne has been playing today.

“Yeah and as much as my friends back home again will absolutely rinse me, I think I’m gonna take the minus one,” as he acknowledged his pals at home wouldn’t be happy about it.
Anne then hilariously remarked: “Yeah, I’m not feeling that threatened by a bloke named after a steakhouse. Bring it on,” as the audience laughed.

However, viewers at home were not laughing despite Anne’s efforts, as Angus’ choice didn’t go down well with fans who tuned in. Many took to X to rant about the player’s decision.
One said: “I don’t care how bad the cash builder was, it’s still criminal taking the minus offer #thechase” A second fumed: “Minus offer c u next Tuesday #TheChase”

While a third penned: “It’s not just your friends rinsing you #TheChase” Others urged Anne to eliminate him from the round, with one typing: “Get him Anne!! #TheChase”
Others followed suit as another 10+ players also voiced their opinions and urged the quiz pro to “get him”. Though fortunately for Angus, he managed to squeeze through to the final round, before the team was beaten.
One viewer concluded: “#TheChase Well played Anne, glad that annoying prick Angus got Fu*k All”
The Chase airs on weekdays from 5pm on ITV1 or catch up on ITVX.
