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.
WOW. We are in shock. ?@jenlion took out the rest of her team, but Judith played an INCREDIBLE game. What an exceptional performance. ??

The host, Bradley Walsh was stunned, saying, "Extraordinary, £70,000, extraordinary," said host Bradley Walsh. The highest figure ever won by a solo player, sensational."
Naturally, everyone watching at home was barely able to believe the astounding performance that they'd just seen.
