The Chase viewers were sickened by a player's remark on today's show.
Bradley Walsh welcomed four new quizzers on Thursday's edition of the ITV programme. Caroline, Paul, Gus and Vicky were taking on Anne Hegerty in a bid to win a cash prize.
Caroline was in seat one and the toy librarian earned £7,000 in an impressive cash-builder. However, she encountered the Governess in imperious form and was swiftly eliminated.

Paul was next up and the retired support worker hoped to use any winnings from today's show to see Bruce Springsteen perform in New Jersey. He earned £5,000 in his cash-builder before he took on Anne in a head-to-head.
However, Bradley was taken aback as the player introduced himself to The Chaser. Paul said: "Hello sexy."
Viewers following the show on Twitter erupted in hysterics after the greeting.
Steve posted, alongside a sick emoji: "Hello, sexy?!"
Imogen added: "Hello sexy plssss"
Samantha tweeted, alongside a gif of comedian Ricky Gervais baulking: "Ellor sexy"
Anne continued her dominant showing and eliminated Paul. Mary was following the head-to-head on Twitter and joked: "Bye bye sexy".
Gus and Vicky both progressed to the final and were competing for a whopping £60,000. They built up 14 steps, but Anne caught them with 31 seconds remaining so they left empty-handed.
