‘What a shame!’ The Chase player supported following devastating loss against The Beast

The Chase returned to ITV yesterday (March 17), and one contestant had viewers firmly on her side after a dramatic showdown with The Beast.

Bradley Walsh welcomed four new players to take on Mark Labbett – better known as The Beast, but it was Juliette from Dunoon who ended up stealing the spotlight for all the right reasons.

The Beast wipes out three players on The Chase last night

Janine from Manchester was first up and managed three correct answers in her cash builder. She went for £3,000 but was quickly caught by The Beast, ending her game early.

Daniel from Sleaford followed, getting off to a strong start with £6,000.

Despite being offered a tempting £66,000, he stuck with his original total – but like Janine, he was caught and sent home.

With two contestants already out, Juliette decided to take a risk. After banking £3,000, she went big and opted for the high offer of £73,000.

Amar from London was last to play, managing just two correct answers.

Encouraged by Juliette, he took the lower offer of minus £9,000 to try and help the team. However, he too was caught – leaving Juliette to face the Final Chase alone.

Juliette’s tough final

Going solo, Juliette put in a strong performance, answering 10 questions correctly and setting a solid target.

But despite her efforts, The Beast proved too strong, catching her with 1 minute and 14 seconds still on the clock.

It meant Juliette walked away with nothing – despite playing for a huge £73,000 prize.

‘Hard luck’

Fans watching at home were quick to rally behind her after the tough loss.

“What a shame, I think partially it was simply the pressure of being there alone,” one viewer wrote on X.

“Well done, Juliette, you got there and gave it a go,” another said.

“[Bleep] me her questions were hard!!” a third commented.

“Unlucky Juliette, but congrats on being the only player to make it to the final to play for £73k,” a fourth added.

“Hard luck Juliette, you can be proud of yourself though,” another shared, while one simply wrote: “Awww.”
