The Chase fans were left fuming after one team narrowly missed out on a cash prize of £52,000.
Host Bradley Walsh welcomed Charlie, Catherine, Heidi and Antony to the quiz show and the four hopefuls tried their best to answer the questions correctly.
They went up against Mark Labbett and the entire team made it to the final round.

A substantial amount of their cash prize was obtained by Catherine, who went for the high offer of £38,000, and overall the team competed for £52,000 in the final chase.
They managed to build up a whopping 21 steps before Mark stepped up to try and take them down.
The final round looked close but The Beast managed to beat them with only three seconds to spare and just one question away.
Fans of the show were gutted that the team didn’t get to take home their hard earned prize, but some of them also claimed that one of the answers was unfairly branded “incorrect”.
Bradley asked them which Italian jockey called his memoir Leap of Faith, to which Charlie told him it was Franco Dettori.
However, Walsh told him that the answer was wrong and that it was actually Frankie Dettori.
Fans took to social media to scold Bradley’s answer and noted that the answer should have been given as the jockey’s real name is Lanfranco Dettori.
One wrote that they were “absolutely robbed” while another added: “Someone please tell me why Franco Dettori wasn’t allowed when that is genuinely his name, Lanfranco. Robbed of 52k.”
Someone else also tweeted: “Well, given there was literally one point in it and the answer Franco wasn’t permitted for Lanfranco Detorri, given it is actually the guy’s real name, not Frankie. I’m pretty certain the team did actually win today…even if they didn’t take home the £52k.”
Other eager viewers were quick to “agree” on his real name and said that the team “should have won the money”.
Mark even took to Twitter himself to snap back at the nay sayers.
One person tagged him in their tweet and he simply told them to “complain to producers”.
He responded to another fan with: “Dear Twitter, good teams make for great show and this was a great show. If you feel they were hard done by, don’t moan on social media, complain to producers.”
