Now, let me tell you this.

Much-loved ITV quiz show The Chase has had viewers' tongues wagging after fans picked up on what they think was a contestant 'hustling' a chaser out of £20,000. A recent episode of the show saw four brand new question-loving contestants bag a huge cash prize of £20,000.The majority of that prize pot was won by clever competitor Simon, who went after the higher offer when going head to head with quiz king Mark Labbett in the Final Chase.The latest instalment of the 5pm quiz saw Simon - along with his teammates Eraj, Amanda and Drina - competing against chaser Mark, 56.  Simon was first up, but, after a tricky quick-fire Cash Builder round, sadly only managed to answer one question correctly.
