A contestant on The Chase has hit back at viewers of the show after her appearance on the award-winning quiz show.
Fans of the ITV programme will know that tweeting along with the show is one of the best ways to enjoy an episode.
But they will also know that sometimes, they are not always as kind as you might be to the player in person.
Sammy, a 26-year-old business support analyst from Doncaster was on the April 10 episode of The Chase.

During her time on the TV , some viewers noticed that she was looking down at the floor a lot.
Cat lover Sammy tweeted why, she said: "Hi all, to everyone saying I'm staring at the floor and look shifty, I'm very sorry, I'm autistic and have trouble looking at people. I tried my best but I was really nervous #thechase #Autism."
She was inundated with messages of support and her tweet has been liked hundreds of times.
One said: "As the mother of a daughter like you, I recognised it pretty quickly. I hate that you have to justify your actions on what should be a fun show but what would have been a massive personal challenge to you. Well done for giving it your best shot and I hope you had a fun day."
Sammy replied: "Thanks :) I did though it was a bit nerve wracking. I can sing in front of thousands of people but for some reason answering questions was more difficult haha"
Another fan of The Chase told Sammy: "You were amazing and incredibly brave to face the last round on your own. We had everything crossed for you to win!!!"
A third added: "Bless you - we could see you were really nervous - thought how brave you were to be there & you did amazing to boot!!"
Sammy was the last player standing and built up £4,000 on her cash builder before facing chaser Paul "The Sinnerman" Sinah.
