The Chase quizzer The Beast – aka Mark Labbett – lost in the final chase last night (Tuesday April 27) and fans were divided at seeing him lose out.
Let’s face it, The Beast losing doesn’t happen very often and he looked stung by the defeat.
What happened to Mark Labbett on The Chase yesterday?
There was a nailbiting conclusion to last night’s episode.
After two contestants made it back for the final chase with a pot of £15,000, Mark rubbed his hands with glee at the prospect of taking them down.
However, Steve and Liz notched up a very creditable 19 correct answers.

This put the pressure back on Mark, and he got off to a good start.
But soon things began to unravel.
He got several questions wrong, and soon he was up against it.
And when he finally lost to Steve and Liz, he looked as though he was going to explode.
Nice one – The Beast is fuming… £15,000! #thechase
