Viewers were left gobsmacked after she beat Chaser, Anne Hegerty

Stacey Solomon has only gone and beat the notoriously difficult-to-beat Anne Hagarty on The Chase, a celebrity special.

The former X Factor star, who is normally known for her ditzy attitude, shocked everybody as she went into the final.

Stacey, 27, played alongside TV presenter Matt Allwright, newsreader Louise Minchin and actor Keith Allen and added £60,000 to their prize pot.

The deciding question was: “The song lyric ‘I’m gonna be your number one’ appeared in what Blondie number one hit?”
