The Chase viewers hit out at Scottish contestant after messing up question on famous play

A Scottish woman on The Chase has answered a Scottish themed question wrong on the show, with fans all having the same complaint.

Shona, from Bonnybridge, Stirlingshire, revealed she's a former professional lawn bowler and even made an appearance at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, representing the UK.

However, the retired taxi driver's general knowledge skills were not as good as her sporting ability, as the Scottish Sun reports.

Host Bradley Walsh asked the 66-year-old: "In Macbeth, which characters 'look not like th' inhabitants o' th' Earth'?"

The former cabbie incorrectly answered "fairies" and lost £4,000, with The Dark Destroyer correctly answering "witches".

Viewers of the teatime quiz were frustrated she wasn't familiar with the famous Shakespeare play, with one commenting: "Fairies? And she's Scottish."

Another added: "Did she just say fairies?"

While one said: "Course it was witches."

It comes after a hapless contestant on The Chase made a shocking mix-up after confusing a legendary ex-Rangers manager with a famous Scots author.

With just 26 seconds remaining, Brad asked the team: "Which Scotsman wrote the novel The Master of Ballantrae?"

And fans of the show were left swooning over a "handsome" contestant from Midlothian who left them glued to their screens.

The Communications Manager admitted that he was a huge Hearts fan and used to play football - but viewers were more interested in his good looks.
