The Chase fans demand change after charities lose out over easy questions
Viewers of The Chase Celebrity special were left outraged when Anne 'The Governess' Hegerty was given what they deemed to be easy questions to answer in the final round

Viewers of The Chase found themselves feeling hard done by as they watched the Celebrity Special on Saturday.

Famous faces Catherine Tyldesley, Levi Roots, Chris McCausland and Rick Wakeman took part in the episode of the popular ITV gameshow as they battled against The Chaser to try and win the cash prize for their chosen charities.

The celebrity quartet put on an impressive performance against Anne 'The Governess' Hegerty gathering a huge £92,000 prize pot between them.

They then tackled the final questions round with host Bradley Walsh scoring a healthy 18.

As Anne took her turn it became apparent that the team would need a fair few pushbacks if they were going to beat her.

While she did get five of her answers wrong, they only managed to make three of those a pushback meaning she managed to catch the team with seconds to spare, robbing them of their large cash prize and leaving them to go home with just the consolation prize for their charities.

However, viewers of the show were not impressed and took to Twitter to let their disappointment be known as they ranted about how "easy" Anne's questions were.

One question was: "Time flies when you're having...what?"

A miffed viewer wrote: "Oof that was tense. Talk about easy questions at the end though. ITV not wanting to hand over that coin."

Another posted: "Time flies when you’re having…what? What kind of question is that to give the Chaser near the end of the game?? #thechase."

A third added: "The questions for the Governess have been so much easier."

A fourth wrote: "She's had some right easy ones there, clearly didn't want to part with that money ITV.... Shame on you!!"

A fifth continued: "I have to say... those questions at the end were stupidly easy. I think there should be a harder difficulty level for the final ones."
