ITV The Chase contestant takes £50,000 offer for odd reason

A player on Monday's instalment of The Chase took a huge £50,000 offer after sharing his unusual plans for any prize money he would take home.

Bradley Walsh welcomed four new players on this week's first edition of the popular ITV programme. The show aired at a later time of 6.30pm due to bank holiday schedule changes.

Paul, Denise, Louise and Colin were testing their wits against one of Britain's biggest brains in a bid to win big money. Colin, an anaesthetist from Surrey, was last up to face The Menace, aka Darragh Ennis. He struggled during his cash builder, gaining just a potential £3,000.

With Paul and Denise safely back at the table with £10,000 in the bank, Colin told Bradley how he would spend any money he won. He said: "Well if it was enough, I'd buy a bike. A new one.

"If it's not enough, I'll buy a wheel." When asked how much wheels cost, he continued: "You'd be looking at £3,000 for two wheels that are reasonable, they'd be midrange".

Bradley was taken aback, as were many fans watching at home. Taking to Twitter, Michelle Whyte said: "£3,000 for WHEELS?", while Petunia Lee said: "£3000 for two wheels for a BICYCLE?".

Colin was given a high offer of a staggering £50,000 from Darragh. And despite only initially getting three questions right, he accepted it.

Sadly though, he was caught by the Chaser after getting a question about Midsomer Murders wrong, and left with no money.

The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
