The Chase viewers were left raging tonight after a team of four players lost £23k due to the ‘wrong player’ rule.
Tonight’s contestants were up against quizzing extraordinaire Anne Hegerty, and things were looking good as they stepped up for the final chase to win the money.
However, the team were not awarded a point after answering a question at the same time, despite it being the correct answer.
Then Anne beat them with five seconds to spare, so fans were angry and claimed that the “wrong person” rule cost them their win.
Despite working well as a team throughout the show and answering 21 questions correctly, they went home empty-handed.

One said: “They would’ve won that but for the ‘wrong person answer’ nonsense! They both got the correct answer and answered at the same time!!!”
While another wrote: “Wrong person answer cost them!”
A third said: “Another question or two – that wrong person answer for example. They’d have won that.”
“HATE it when they do the ‘wrong person answer’ It was the RIGHT answer… MAN!,” fumed a fourth.

Earlier in the episode, fans fumed after one contestant admitted they would have taken the minus offer if it wasn’t so low.
Anne gave the contestant a low offer of minus £6k, which one player said was “just an insult”.
The player told host Bradley Walsh: “I would have been tempting by the lower if it wasn’t so punishing.”
Fans flooded Twitter, raging that the player confessed she nearly took the low offer.

One viewer said: “Tempted by the minus? Oh, Debra.”
While another wrote: “Minus 6 that’s f***ed her.”
A third wrote: “See, If it hadn’t been as high as minus 6 she’d have gone minus.”
“She admits she would have gone minus if not so big!” added a fourth The Chase fan.
The Chase continues tomorrow at 5pm on ITV
