THE Chase fans branded the ITV quiz as ‘rigged’ after Jenny Ryan got handed the ‘easiest question ever’.
The ITV show hosted by Bradley Walsh left fans fuming as they witnessed one of The Vixen‘s final questions.
Contestants John and Tracy advanced to the Final Chase, where they answered 17 questions between them.
For Jenny’s penultimate question, Bradley asked her: “What term refers to knives, forks and spoons collectively?”
The quizzer correctly answered “cutlery” – but viewers were not happy.
One wrote: “What term is referred to knives forks and spoons collectively? My god.”
Another penned: “The strongest chaser who rarely gets beat is asked what’s the collective name for knives, forks and spoons pfft.”
While a third commented: “As if one of the questions she got was the collective term for spoons, knives and forks.”
A fourth penned: “Running out of time so bring out questions as easy as what makes up cutlery”.
This was shared alongside an image with the caption: “This game is rigged man.”
Jenny ultimately caught the pair with mere seconds left on the clock.
In the earlier rounds, 19-year-old law student Anousha answered six questions correctly in the cash builder.

A similar fate befell 54-year-old Hanish, who had been playing for £5,000.

She remarked: “Particularly Anousha, she would have been very fast in that final and just picked up a couple where you were letting the energy drop a little bit.”
The Chase airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
