The Chase: ‘I’m embarrassed’ Anne Hegerty irked over wrong answer in ‘intense’ final

Today’s contestants were up against The Chase brainiac Anne Hegerty in order to win some cash.

As usual, the ITV programme was hosted by presenter Bradley Walsh.

Players Bill and David made it through to the last stage after Anne knocked out Kathryn and Bobbie.

The two of them managed to get 13 points in the Final Chase to put themselves ahead of Anne, however, it wasn’t enough.

The pair put up an admirable defensive as they pushed Anne back several times before the end as she answered several questions incorrectly.

“That was amazing!” Bradley announced as the contestants were caught with just four seconds left.

Anne then added: “That was very nearly, very embarrassing.”

She went on to express her ire about getting the location of a BBC studio wrong.

“I’m especially embarrassed not remembering the beeb have a Pacific Quay studio in Glasgow,” she told the host.

Viewers were clearly gripped by the tense final few moments and took to social media to comment.
