The Chase viewers slammed quiz genius Jenny Ryan after she savagely criticised a contestant’s stellar performance.
The 40-year-old trivia queen, dubbed The Vixen, was up against police officer Andrea in the first head-to-head of the episode, where she took on Jenny to bank £5k for her team.
After soaring through her round and pulling ahead of Jenny, Bradley congratulated her on her successful round by telling her how impressed he was, as her fellow contestants shook her hand and offered up high-fives.

But a miffed Jenny, who got an answer wrong during the battle, was unimpressed with Andrea’s performance, blasting: “Well I don’t think it was that impressive as the questions weren’t particularly challenging, were they?”

Her sour attitude to losing the round rubbed players the wrong way as they took to Twitter to blast the star.
One said: “No not the hardest of questions but she was a good player and Jenny should let her have her moment!”
Another fan branded Jenny “smug” – but others seemed inclined to agree with her, penning: “Good player, but not the hardest of questions #TheChase.”

Later in the episode, contestant James also soared through to the next round against Jenny, who blundered two questions giving him a huge advantage.
But Jenny was still feeling bitter from her loss, and blasted James saying: “It was a good round but he was definitely luck riding there and my blunders.”
To which Bradley replied: “I don’t think the chaser’s on form at all today.”
