BRADLEY Walsh was left speechless after a contestant received a record-breaking offer on The Chase.

The TV presenter introduced a brand new set of contestants and Darragh 'The Menace' Ennis was feeling very generous.

Newbie Kim was first up and she managed to gain £5,000 in the cash builder round.

However, it was when she was faced with Darragh that things got interesting.

If Kim was to go high, she could have potentially brought back £100,000 for her team.

Darrah told the team that this was the "highest offer ever" seen for a player.

Bradley was stunned and agreed that he had "never seen this ever" - but this didn't persuade Kim.

She decided to stick with the £5,000 and fans were baffled by her choice.

"£100k.... How do you turn that down??" one wrote on X.

"What are you doing? Take the 100k!" another said, while a third wrote: "Are you insane not going for 100k????"

Unfortunately for Kim, she was caught by the Chaser.

This bout of misfortune continued for the team, with fellow team-mate Owen also being caught by Darragh.

Player number three Georgina managed to pull through with £4,000.

Darragh recently hit back at trolls following a tricky episode of The Chase.

He had been criticised for losing the final chase last week.

Chasers are responsible for stopping teams from reaching the prize money by answering quiz questions correctly when players get them wrong.

Darragh managed to take one contestant out but the rest of the team made it to the end of the game and won thousands of pounds.

A few people made cruel comments, such as one viewer, who wrote: "Annoys me that that stupid Darragh Ennis still has a job on The Chase and is getting paid to be that useless. Worst chaser by a long shot. Would beat him on my own."

After trolls slammed the neuroscientist, he took to X with a plea.

The 44-year-old wrote: "On tonight's show, I had a bad few minutes. It got away from me and I started to miss the clues in the question.

"It happens, we all have bad days. I don't mind, but maybe consider what you post online about people who are in the public eye, it can be damaging."

Several fans of the ITV show replied supporting him and agreeing that people should be more kind to public figures.

One person shared: "I think Darragh was under the weather could tell in his voice. Even chasers are allowed off days."

Another added: "You're my favourite Chaser Darragh. Always a gentleman and so gracious in defeat."

A third agreed: "Ignore the idiots, you're still cleverer than 99% of them."
