The Chase viewers mock contestant after she unveils unusual hobby

Fans of The Chase couldn’t resist poking fun at one of the contestants on today’s show after she revealed to host Bradley Walsh what she does in her spare time.

As Jane chatted with Bradley before taking on The Vixen, he asked her what she does for a living.

Revealing that she is actually retired, she said: “For 35 years I taught modern languages, but one of my interests is genealogy, doing my family tree.”

Jane continued: “I have made contacts with living relatives across the world, never managed to get to meet any of them yet, but I’ve spoken to them online.”

Viewers picked up on her blunder and were quick to tweet about her mishap.

“‘I’ve made contact with living relatives’ Not going to make contact with dead ones, are you?” one person tweeted.

A second added: “Christ – I hope I’m not related to her!…… #TheChase,” while a third posted: “#thechase relatives will be panicking.”

A fourth person joked: “When she contacted me I went ex-directory #thechase.”

It comes as fans of the ITV show noticed that The Vixen appeared to be struggling during Monday night’s episode.

“The Vixen getting splattered here #TheChase,” one person posted, while another observed: “Jenny looks p****d off #TheChase.”

And it seems they were right, as the four players ended up beating Jenny and took home a total of £22,000.
