The Chase got off to an awkward start when one contestant was forced to apologise to her teammate after deciding to risk a huge £94,000 in a tense head-to-head against Paul Sinha.
Bradley Walsh was back at the helm of the ITV quiz show as Harry, Alex, Patricia and Rachel battled to build a prize pot before facing The Sinnerman in the Final Chase.
But the pressure quickly began to mount.

Rachel Faces a Huge Decision
Alex and Patricia failed to make it through their head-to-heads and were eliminated from the competition.
Harry, meanwhile, secured his place in the final after banking £6,000 in his own head-to-head.
That left him hoping Rachel could also make it through, as he did not want to face the Final Chase alone.
But Rachel was given a potentially life-changing decision when Paul Sinha offered her three options: £1,000, £5,000 or an enormous £94,000.
Harry immediately tried to persuade his teammate to play it safe.
“No way should you be taking that £94,000, it is just there to tempt you,” he told her.
“I honestly would go with the £1,000. Get back here, we need two people, if we have £1,000 extra that is money in our pocket.”
But Rachel had other ideas.

‘I’m So Sorry, Harry’
Clearly torn over the decision, Rachel turned to Harry and apologised.
“Oh Harry! Oh god, I am going to have to do it!” she said.
“I am going to have to go for £94,000. I am sorry, I am so sorry Harry but £94,000…”
Despite his earlier warning, Harry encouraged her to go for it.
“You can do it,” he told her.
Rachel then took on The Sinnerman with the huge sum at stake.
The gamble ultimately paid off as she successfully made it through the head-to-head and rejoined Harry for the Final Chase.
Her decision also sent the team’s prize pot soaring to an incredible £100,000.
The Sinnerman Strikes Back
With £100,000 now up for grabs, Harry and Rachel faced Paul Sinha together in the final.
However, their hopes of taking the huge jackpot home were eventually crushed.
The Sinnerman caught the pair with just 16 seconds remaining, ending their run and securing the victory.
Despite beating them, Sinha praised the contestants for the way they had played.
“Unlucky!” he told them.
“Superb playing and the game was a pleasure! I had to be on my game there, the questions were really tricky.”
For Rachel, the decision to gamble £94,000 had created an unforgettable moment — and although the pair ultimately missed out on the £100,000 prize, her bold choice had successfully put the team in contention for the jackpot.
