The Chase player gets ‘ridiculously easy’ question wrong

Fans of game show The Chase were left raging as a contestant on the show fumbled a “ridiculously easy” question.

The Chase fans were left screaming at one of the show’s contestants after they got a “ridiculously easy” question wrong.

The moment left viewers raging at the error on the ITV teatime quiz favourite.

Bradley Walsh was back to host the show as four players all attempted to beat the chaser and make it to the final round in hopes of bringing home some cash.

Attempting to stop them during the episode was Shaun Wallace – better known as The Dark Destroyer.

The four players attempting to take him on were Justin from Manchester, Reanna from Liverpool, Nicola from Nottingham, and Matthew from Leeds.

However, after first player Justin was caught – all eyes were on Reanna to bring back some cash.

But it was not meant to be for Reanna after she was knocked out by Shaun on her final question that many deemed as “ridiculously easy”.

The moment in question saw Bradley ask the player: “In legend, how did the basilisk kill its prey?”

Reanna was then given three choices – either stinging, singing or staring.

Sadly, she answered incorrectly by opting for stinging.

The program went on to reveal that the correct answer was in fact – staring.

It led many to fume at Reanna who insisted it was an easy question – with many referencing the Harry Potter films as their reasoning.

One wrote online: “She’s clearly never watched Harry Potter #TheChase.”

Another added: “These questions are ridiculous! #TheChase.”

A third went on to pen: “Ridiculously easy? I quite agree.”

Before a fourth posted: “Nah, I’m screaming that was easy.”

The team did not fare much better after her exit as Matthew was also caught by the chaser.

Nicola managed to take on Shaun alone but was eliminated with over a minute left on the clock.
