The Chase viewers confused by player's Blackpool confession

The Chase viewers were confused after a player said he wanted to use the money to take his grandmother to Blackpool.

Bradley Walsh welcomed another four contestants on today's show ready to take on The Chaser. Jenny "The Vixen" Ryan was today's opponent and made easy work of today's players.

Sam was first to take on The Vixen but not before Bradley quizzed him on what he planned to spend his money on. The teacher said he hopes to build enough cash to take his grandmother on a trip to Blackpool as she's always wanted to go.

The trip took viewers by surprise as they did not believe it would cost £5,000 to visit Blackpool. Confused by why it didn't happen sooner, one viewer said: "My guy, you do not need to win The Chase to afford to go to Blackpool."

Another added: "With £5,000 Sam can afford to go to Blackpool about 5,000 times.

A third viewer said: "Never been Blackpool at 91?"

A final comment jokingly added: "We can only dream of going to Blackpool."

Sam made it through to the final round with his own cash injection of £5,000 but The Chaser wiped out the final team in less than a minute.
