The Chase's Mark Labbett was accused of "letting players win" in Thursday's episode.
Bradley Walsh welcomed four new players in this week's third edition of the much-loved ITV quiz show. Fred from Bath, Ellie from Cardiff, Jas from London and Edward from Newcastle were hoping four brains could beat one in this week's third edition of the much-loved ITV quiz show.
They were up against Mark, aka The Beast. Fred was up first, and made taking £6,000 back to the team look easy.

In a rarity for the show, all four contestants made it back to the table to play in the final. The four had an impressive £25,000 in the bank as they took on The Beast for a final time. Mark admitted they were a good team before he took them on.
Towards the end of his questions, he looked like he was ready to give up. When he was asked which Elton John song was about an astronaut, he said: "Oh I don't care, well played guys."
Fred, Ellie, Jas and Edward therefore took home a decent £6,250 each. The Beast said they were a "deserving" team.
Fans said Mark had "given up". Taking to Twitter, fans were loving the interaction. Mich W said: "He let them win there?"
Liam said: "When The Beast just gave up answering. Great game" Meanwhile, Jon T said: "The Chase is a big softie". Aysha said: "That was the best episode of The Chase ever!"
The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
