In the episode, hosted as always by Bradley Walsh, Jenny was taking on the day's remaining players in the Final Chase round.
Nick from Liverpool, Laura from Bolton, Aiden from Falkirk, and Vivienne from Bracknell, were all hoping to prove successful and show that they had better brains than flame-haired Jenny.
As the episode neared its end, only Laura and Nick managed to make it through as they played for a rather small final amount of £3,000.
They correctly got 14 answers before Jenny did her best to try and better them.

But as her round of questions got underway, one of them became a talking point online.
Bradley asked Jenny: 'What colour indicates semi-skimmed milk on bottles?'
It took Jenny a few seconds to give an answer as it became clear that she was not overly confident on the question.
Having paused for a few moments, she then replied to Bradley, saying: "It's red and silver."

Bradley immediately told her that he would "accept" her answer but it instantly sparked furore online.
Many were quick to argue that semi-skimmed milk featured a green top and that Jenny's answer was incorrect and should have been voided.
The Chase fans left screaming as player gets 'ridiculously easy' question wrong - but would you know the answer-
Reacting in shock online, one fan penned: 'Excuse me? Semi-skimmed is GREEN!'
Another also echoed the sentiment as they wrote: 'Incorrect answer from #TheVixen given as correct? They were one correct answer away from winning!'
A third went on to write: 'Semi-skimmed milk carton tops are Green (or white), NOT RED, which is skimmed milk... What is going on here?'
Before someone else stated: 'Am I going mad? I'm sure the question was about the colour of tops on semi-skimmed milk.
"The Chaser said red and silver... it's green. Or did I mishear?'
Jenny's answer was not wholly incorrect as it appeared that she was referring to traditional glass bottles often delivered by milkmen.
Glass bottled semi-skimmed milk has traditionally featured a red and silver top.
However, when bought from supermarkets in a carton, which is the more widely accessible option, the bottle lid is in fact green.
It is likely that Jenny took the question literally to make sure she referred to a "bottle" as opposed to a carton in order to ensure a correct answer was given.
The Chase's best moments
The Chase has been entertaining ITV viewers for years, here are some of the show's most memorable moments...
Bradley Walsh can't stop laughing
Every time host Bradley Walsh erupts into fits of laughter on The Chase it makes for pretty entertaining TV. One particularly memorable occasion was when he was asking the question 'The title of which Elvis Presley song was engraved of the inside of Freddie Star's coffin?" As usual the contestant was given four multiple choices but

We married ‘down' – it's the secret to a sizzling sex life
WHEN red-haired student Jess met trainee bricklayer Bradley in a nightclub, the spark between them was unmistakeable.

With far more girls now going to university than boys in Britain, increasing number of couples are made up of a white collar wife and blue collar bloke — with some claiming this pairing is the secret to both a healthy bank balance and a sizzling sex life. 'Breath of fresh air' Jess, 30, says: 'Mum and dad made it clear even socialising with a tradie was out of the question — a girl like me was better and smarter than that.

'Brad was honest from the start, admitting he'd grown up on a local estate, had been a bit of a ladies' man and wasn't parent-pleasing material. 'He made me laugh, he had great banter and he could fix things.' And Bradley, 41, excelled in another area. Advertisement Jess says: 'He's also an amazing kisser, great in bed and a lover who was definitely good with his hands.' While once it was the done thing for women to 'marry up' for financial reasons, the tables have turned. Last year, over half of British women reported feeling financially independent. Now females have more freedom when choosing their spouse — and are plumping for Advertisement Women are more likely to go to university than men.

'My single friends who at first slagged off my choice are now asking him to introduce them to his tradie mates.'
