The Chase's Darragh Ennis tests fans with quiz question that only 5% of people answer right
The Chase star Darragh Ennis, better known as The Menace, has shared a seemingly simple quiz question on his social media which the majority of people can not answer correctly.
The Chase star Darragh Ennis has presented fans with a question that only those among the top 5% of brains will be able to answer correctly. If you're a fan of quiz shows, there's a good chance you've tuned into ITV's The Chase, where hopeful contestants attempt to outrun the Chaser by answering a series of tough questions.
These Chasers are professional geniuses, the very best of UK quiz gurus and they regularly prove their talent by beating teams on the programme. Darragh Ennis, better known as The Menace on the Bradley Walsh quiz show, not only stumps contestants on the telly but also delights followers with brain teasers and intriguing facts on his social media profiles.
In one of his recent TikToks, the Chase star sent viewers into a frenzy, revealing that a staggering 95% can't crack his clever question. In his video, Darragh says: "Do you want to know a really easy sounding quiz question almost everybody will get wrong? Seriously, about 95% of people will get this wrong, and it sounds so simple."
He then poses his simple task: "Name a berry."
You may think this is straightforward and many believe it would basically be a freebie point at your local pub quiz. But hold your fire before blurting out the first answer that comes to mind because there is a twist, the Mirror reports.
While most people typically blurt out strawberry or perhaps raspberry in response to this seemingly simple question, Darragh has pointed out that these aren't actually berries.
So if you guessed either, you've just joined the majority of people who messed up the answer.

The Chaser clarified: "If you said strawberry, blackberry, or raspberry, you're wrong. They are not technically berries.
"Berries are a very specific type of fruit. They have to come from a single ovary of a single flower, and have no stones for seeds. So if you said peach, plum, or cherry, they're not berries either.
"But what are berries, and this is the bit that is absolutely bonkers, are things like bananas, aubergines, and watermelons."
Some fruits, such as cranberries and blueberries, are right to call themselves berries.
In an unexpected twist, avocados also make the cut as berries despite their seemingly stony centre due to their thin, fleshy layer around the seed.
Darragh couldn't help but throw in a pun towards the end of the clip about comedian Matt Berry.
He told his followers: "If you said Matt Berry, then you're the most devious quizzer in New York City. You can take two extra bonus points."

Viewers had a mixed reaction to the clip, while some were caught off guard, others boasted that it was "common knowledge" to know which fruits are actually real berries.
One confident viewer replied: "Banana! Because it's got seeds inside. Strawberries are drupes because their seeds are outside.
"Peaches are stone fruit, not berries. You'd have to get up pretty early in the morning to stump me with that one, Darragh!"
A fellow commenter added: "No such thing as a universally easy question. It's easy if you know it, and it's not if you don't."

Huge change to Britain's Got Talent after ‘absolutely wild' Blackpool shows which Simon Cowell ‘loved'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BRITAIN'S Got Talent gave us some of the most outrageous wannabes in the show's history last series – by taking the auditions out of London and up the road to Blackpool. Now, I can reveal the raucous crowds who made the early episodes so much fun have convinced Simon Cowell and producers to host try-outs in yet another major UK city. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 BGT producers want to host try-outs in yet another major UK city Credit: Rex In fact, as well as heading back to Blackpool this autumn seeking contestants for BGT 2026, I can reveal that auditions will also be held in Birmingham as show bosses turn their backs on the capital completely. A TV insider said: 'The audiences up north were absolutely wild, with some shouting at Simon and flicking him V-signs if he didn't make a decision they approved of. Then, hilariously, some of the people who had abused him would sidle up afterwards and ask for a selfie — and, of course, he duly obliged. 'Simon loved it, so when they were looking at what to do for the new series, they decided to try out another city further north that might provide some of the same dynamism.' Birmingham was the birthplace of huge ITV shows, including cult kids' favourite Tiswas and classic soap Crossroads. Britain's second city was the home of talent contest New Faces which helped launch the careers of stars including Joe Pasquale and Lenny Henry. The BGT live semi-finals and final will likely remain in London. Moving the auditions from the big smoke on a near permanent basis won't surprise other judges either. Talking of their sensational trip north for the 2024 auditions, Amanda Holden said this year: 'The audiences were super-warm and brilliantly up for it. The show felt really appreciated and wanted up there. 'I honestly think we won't go back to London for the auditions. I think we'll be going back to Blackpool all the time.' Well, it turns out you were half right Amanda . . .

The Ted Lasso actor said Stephen used a Harry Potter term for non-magical people to refer to the non-celeb version of the hit show. He said: 'Stephen referred to it as the Muggle version which really made me laugh.' Nick added: 'I was allowed one phone conversation a day with the kids but you are isolated from the outside world – at one point we weren't even allowed to know the time. 'You'd be, 'What's the time?' They'd say, 'It's traitors' time'.' Filming has wrapped on the series – which will air this autumn – but Nick has kept in touch with his co-stars. He added: 'There's a WhatsApp group and we're all on it – it's phenomenal and every day there's about 50 notifications.' Leo lined up LEO WOODALL has cemented his place as TV's favourite leading man with another sexy role. He will play the titular character in Vladimir, a Netflix eight-parter said to be 'full of sexy secrets and dark humour'. It also stars Rachel Weisz as a woman who becomes obsessed with Vladimir.

Nadiya told me: 'I do have things insured – everything I need for dancing. 'Dancing puts food on the table, so I need to make sure I am OK. I think it comes from when I was competing at the highest level. I do a lot of workouts for my feet. It's about building the muscles. You don't want to walk in heels and twist something or break something. 'As we get older, we need to look after ourselves even more. If you twist your ankle, then you're done.' Game on for Squid THE THIRD and final series of Squid Game landed on Friday but now its creator has hinted there could be more to come. The dystopian hit saw gambling addict Gi-hun join in a deadly game against other vulnerable people, enticed by recruiters. Writer Hwang Dong-Hyuk said: 'I had this faint ideation . . . not a sequel, but maybe a spin-off about the three-year gap between season 1 and season 2 when Gi-hun looks around for the recruiters. 'Maybe a portrayal of what the recruiters or Captain Park or officers or masked men were doing in that period, not inside the gaming arena, but their life outside of that.' Sonia on the double CONGRATULATIONS to Coronation Street actress Sonia Ibrahim, who has given birth to her second child. Announcing the news online, Sonia, who plays Mel Maguire, wrote: 'My beautiful boy Carter Benjamin Machin, 7lbs of pure perfection. You are loved more than you will ever know.'

This Morning star reveals his ripped body to fans in epic transformation as he details his weight struggles in candid post
A star of This Morning revealed his incredible body transformation to fans on Sunday, as he admitted to 'struggling' with his weight over recent years. Chef Marcus Bean has become a fan-favourite of the ITV daytime programme and a staple of their kitchen segment. The hunky chef, 46, has served up delicious meals and shared banter with hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard but rarely opens up about his private life. However, in a candid post on Instagram, Marcus revealed his impressive body transformation to fans. In the honest post, he shared how he's 'struggled' with his weight for years and how food is constantly around thanks to his career. Marcus penned: 'Being a chef and surrounded by food all my life has had its perks, but my fitness levels and body have changed so much over the years. And I've especially struggled with my weight over the last 5-6 years. 'The combination of long hours in the kitchen or at shows, stress, money worries, not feeling good enough, the list goes on. 'November 2024 I wasn't happy, life was busy and stressful as always, which I'm very thankful for. 'I'd had both my knees operated on in the space of a year. I hadn't been able to run and had completely lost any motivation.' Marcus said he decided to make a change in December 2024, aware that he was going to run this year's London Marathon. He said he aimed to run three miles between 3-4 times a week while increasing his body strength to build up slowly. Sharing snaps of his ripped, chiseled physique, Marcus told fans he's 'proud' of what he's achieved. He added: 'I don't have a PT, I don't have a nutritionist, I've just created my only little plan, eating better as much as possible, upping my protein and reducing my carbs. 'One thing I don't do is diet, I also don't weigh myself, just use my clothes and how they fit as a measure of progress. Marcus went onto candidly discuss his struggles with his weight in a lengthy caption Fans flooded Marcus with compliments as they praised his transformation 'This was all about making better choices when possible around work and everyday life. Now at 46 years old I'm feeling proud of myself and giving myself some credit for what I've achieved!' Fans flooded Marcus with compliments as they praised his transformation, with one writing: 'No way you are that age. Looking good my bro.' A second commented: 'Love this Marcus. Such an inspiration, congratulations!' 'Good for you! This will give a lot of people the confidence to do similar if they've felt a bit stuck,' said a third. In 2023 the TV chef left This Morning fans stunned by his 'very dirty' cooking segment with Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary. The trio appeared to engage in conversation filled with innuendos which left the audience gripped at home.
