Livid The Chase fans accuse Bradley Walsh of 'stitching up' contestant with two sneaky tactics to secure Jenny Ryan's victory
Kerry, Ellena, Alex and Fraser joined forces to take on Jenny AKA The Vixen to get their hands on a hefty cash prize.
Unfortunately the players didn't manage to win the money and Jenny ended up with £61,000.
Those watching at home took to social media to point out two factors that will have helped her succeed.
Some viewers pointed out that Host Bradley Walsh, 65, was asking the contestants much harder questions than The Vixen.
'What a p*** take that was. The questions for the chaser were simple.'

'The Vixen flew through those!'
'Much easier questions for the chaser as per!'
Meanwhile another was convinced that the speed of how Bradley asked the questions changed depending on who he was asking.
'Bradley asked the questions a lot quicker for the chaser than he did for the contestants #TheChase.'
It's not the first time that viewers have been left fuming.
The Chase fans took to social media to share their fury over allegedly 'fixed' questions while watching a recent episode of the ITV show.
Michael, Francine, Amy and Jamie took to screens to take on Mark Labbett, AKA The Beast, in a bid to win a cash prize.
Mark joined The Chase in 2009, but before starring in the programme, he had a very different job as a supply PE and mathematics teacher in Wales.
In the latest general knowledge contest, viewers claimed that the questions being asked were very much geared in his favour, leaving contestants with a difficult battle.
Host Bradley Walsh first asked: 'The International Medal for Outstanding Discoveries in Mathematics is more commonly known as what?'
To which Francine said: 'He knows this doesn't he?'
'Of course he does, he's a mathematician,' Bradley replied.
Moments later, he asked a sports related question which said: 'Which Middle Eastern country played in 2021 Rugby League World Cup?'
And again, Mark knew the answer straight away as Francine confessed: 'Not a clue.'
Unfortunately, she answered incorrectly and was booted out of the competition, while Mark got the correct answer - Lebanon.
Many rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their frustration over what questions that she had to answer.
Comments included: 'Funny how they give all the maths questions to the maths teacher Chaser. #TheChase.'
'Maths teacher gets maths question….. #TheChase,' with a gif of Cardi B saying 'that's suspicious.'
'Maths question followed by rugby question for the rugby-loving maths teacher Mark.'
'Maths teacher, maths question', alongside a confused face emoji.

Love Island fans fume at show bosses for giving Shakira the 'villain edit' during the Grafties - after 'convincing' her to stay following emotional breakdown
Love Island fans have hit out at show bosses during Thursday's episode after they were left unimpressed by how Shakira Khan was given the 'villain edit'. Prior to the episode airing, It was reported that the 22-year-old threatened to quit the ITV2 dating show over the situation with Harry. A source told The Sun: 'She went to the beach hut and asked to leave the villa. 'The duty of care team were able to help her through her emotions and she decided to stay.' In the latest episode of the ITV show, the infamous Grafties returned - where contestants are shown clips on a big screen that either revive past drama or highlight hilarious moments that most of the villa hadn't seen before. The nominees for the Best Double Act award were Dejon and Helena, Toni and Shakira, and Helena and Meg. During the clips, Toni and Shakira were seen talking negatively about Meg, following movie night. After watching the gossip on the big screen, Meg said she felt that Shakira and Toni were 'fake to her face,' prompting Toni to fire back: 'So are you. You act like you never say a bad thing about anyone.' Next came Helena and Meg's clip, which, in contrast, highlighted their blossoming friendship in the villa. Toni and Shakira went on to win the award, with Shakira saying: 'We said what we said, it was after Movie Night. 'I don't know why it's so surprising, we had a scrap that night.' Fans are now calling out show bosses for giving Shakira the 'villain edit' during the game. They raged on X: 'If they hurt Shakira anymore I'm literally going to stay for the credits, note down each producers name and HUNT THEM DOWN,' 'The producers convincing Shakira to stay in the villa so she could get attacked at the grafties is just evil #LoveIsland,' 'The fact we've seen Shakira be so sad, open & vulnerable recently. And now the producers are gonna paint her out to be bad with the Grafties, and make her feel even worse :(( i don't wanna watch,' 'Look at the clip they used for Meg and Helena vs the one they used for Shakira and Toni, and tell me again with a straight face that there isn't a clear agenda,' 'Why are the producers giving Shakira and Toni this bad edit!' 'Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Shakira ends up leaving after the Grafties give her a bad edit. Her mental health is really suffering,' MailOnline has contacted ITV bosses for comment. It comes after there was a wave of concern for Shakira's mental health, who fans said already appears 'emotionally drained' on the programme. Viewers penned on X: 'funny how love island preaches about mental health and how the public should go easy on the islanders only to THEMSELVES use the most amount of vids of shakira for the grafties to push the mean girl narrative and sent back in megan one of the buIIies', 'this princess deserved so much better. i hope she walks for her own mental health. shakira you are loved worldwide and are better than love island', 'Shakira is emotionally drained and not okay Love Island uk is responsible for her mental health the contestants the producers the therapists everyone', 'Really not keen on the production team for the constant shots thrown at shakira. We only see one hour of the whole day and it's clear she's down and not feeling herself. Where's the mental health team love island are so vocal about? #LoveIslandUK'. However others were quick to defend Shakira's decision, with tweets including: 'Shakira is so real that she's willing to leave the villa without a man or winning instead of faking it with Conor till the end, if anything we can be proud of her for staying true to herself but damn Harry?!? ''I do like him, I just don't like him enough'', you know what Shakira that's real;' ''I just wanna be single forever'' Shakira this is so real;' 'Well you can't say Shakira is a game-player! She could have faked it with Ty and Conor to get to the final and potentially win but looks like she dgaf about winning or getting to the final;' Shakira has always been so honest and upfront in her couples., she's a genuine sensitive girl who won't fake s**t for the sake of it. Love her so much;' One thing about Shakira she'll follow her heart no matter if she's favourite couple or not at the bottom;' 'Wait now I'm kinda glad Meg is back because it softens the blow and makes Shakira feel better;' MailOnline has contacted Love Island for comment. In recent days, Shakira has been in floods of tears and has persistently said she 'can't wait to leave the villa' following a rocky start to her journey with Harry Cooksley. During the episode Shakira shut down her short-lived romance with Conor Phillips after struggling to get over her feelings for Harry. Last week, Shakira broke down in tears after a heated row with Conor after Harrison said during the Couple Of Sorts game that she had deeper feelings for Harry - who she was paired with earlier in the series. She told Conor: 'It's been twisted and you've wanted to believe the boys straight away. It's ego and pride. Wake up, Conor. 'They're literally the biggest game-players here. When have I ever lied to you? Their argument leaves Shakira feeling upset and she goes to Toni and Yasmin for comfort.
