"I can't give you Famous Groose unless you were doing it in a Scottish accent.

You were unlucky with that."Of her Scot-inspired outfit, Ellie jokingly replied: "It was the dress. It brought it over me."While Bradley wouldn't accept Ellie's answer, The Chase fans on Twitter swiftly slammed the decision.Explaining that Ellie's answer would have been accepted by Scots, they insisted she should have been awarded the point.One fan wrote: "Give her the point for famous groose!

Loads of Scots up here say it."Another replied: "Famous Grouse not allowed cos she pronounced it differently?"Meanwhile, a third viewer complained: "Gotta deserve the point there surely."A fourth added: "Poor Ellie!

Famous Groose is how a lot of people say it.""She got that right! Should get a bonus point for the accent," a fifth fan concluded.Ellie's whisky error followed Bradley admonishing her for being a fan of Love Island in a savage swipe at the ITV2 dating show.The Chase.
