The Chase star Darragh Ennis faced a record-breaking defeat on the ITV game show as Thursday night's episode saw him pitted against four contestants, only managing to eliminate one in the head-to-head rounds.

With a substantial £75,000 on the line, Darragh, also known as "The Menace," confronted three remaining challengers in the final chase.Despite Jake, Laura and Frank's formidable score of 22, Darragh struggled right from the start, getting questions wrong and feeling the heat.

Following several errors in the final chase, the 44-year-old, who had previously been a contestant on the show, was unable to close the gap, the Express reports.Admitting the challenge, Darragh remarked at the show's conclusion: "I said it was going to be very difficult and realistically, 23 or 24 is about as much as we can catch in two minutes."He acknowledged his early mistake by adding: "I got one wrong very early and I started making a few little mistakes trying to go quick.

But you set a high target, I wasn't able to match it. Well done, you deserve the money." The episode began with Jake's impressive cash builder, where he secured five correct answers and stuck with his earned £4,000 despite other offers from Darragh.Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.You'll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.All you have to do is click here if you're on mobile, select 'Join Community' and you're in!If you're on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click 'Join Community'.We also treat our community members to special offers,
