Viewers of The Chase were left fuming and say show bosses 'robbed' a team of contestants out of £52,000.

In the final round, the four contestants built up an impressive target of 21 for The Beast to chase down. Sadly for the players, he was able to reach his target with three seconds left to spare, sending them home empty handed.But, as they agonised over being one question short of winning the jackpot, Twitter users were quick to suggest an answer in the final chase was actually marked incorrectly.As former Corrie star Bradley asked: "Leap of Faith is a memoir by which Italian jockey," Charlie replied: "Franco Dettori."The host rejected the response, instead looking for the answer Frankie Dettori.
