Amazing! Chase Contestant Bags Highest Ever Win By A Solo Player
A contestant on one of television's most popular gameshows, The Chase, has just won the largest prize ever earned by a solo performer on the show.
The contestant, a woman by the name of Judith, beat Jenny 'The Vixen' Ryan, to win £70,000. Not only that, but she answered 20 questions in the final round, finishing up 10 points clear of her chaser.
