Bradley Walsh and ITV viewers were left gobsmacked after The Chase star Shaun ‘The Dark Destroyer’ Wallace made a series of blunders.
During Wednesday’s show (April 17), a brand new set of players were back on the popular gameshow with hopes of winning big. But with chaser Shaun initially on top form, things were looking bleak for the team.
The team which consisted of four players – Terri, Diago, Claire and Jack got off to a rocky start when Shaun was able to send Terri and Claire home early. With Diago and Jack left in the final and £15,000 in the kitty, the two contestants tried their best to answer as many questions correctly as possible.

As the pair answered 13 questions right, fans at home and Bradley in the studio were convinced that they would lose the money and get knocked out by Shaun. But they were wrong.

Surprisingly, this wasn’t the case when Shaun answered his first three questions wrong, giving the team a great advantage. He then continued to stumble throughout his round, allowing the team to push him back several times.
Shaun desperately tried to claw back a win in the final few seconds, but it was too late, leaving Diago and Jack stunned by their victory. Seeing the alarming performance, Bradley said: “Eight attempts to push back, five executed!”
He then added: “I’m gonna have to talk to the chaser about this, I don’t know what happened there!” Shocked by his own performace, Shaun admitted that he “floundered” and seemed to confess that he was also disappointed with the way things turned.
Meanwhile, fans online couldn’t believe what they had witnessed and headed over to X to share their opinions. One viewer said: “Shaun’s getting his P45, WTF??”

Another penned: “Never seen Shaun do this bad.” A third chimed in and wrote: “Shaun Wallace needs sacking after that performance.”
And a fourth fed up fan said: “That’s it for me. I’m done with #thechase. I’m switching back to #pointless tomorrow.”
Meanwhile another fan seemed to think that maybe Shaun lost on purpose because the team was nice. The fan said: “It did seem that way! I like to think he does it deliberately for a good or just likeable team. Hope his bosses don’t mind!”
