ITV The Chase fans furiously brand show ‘a fix’ after spotting a series of clues

fans are blasting the show as “a fix” after some tell-tale signs on the latest episodes of the popular quiz show.

During Friday’s visit (December 20) to the studios, beloved gameshow host welcomed four new quizzers onto the show looking to put their general knowledge to the test.

As fans tuned in for the primetime show, the former star introduced contestants Linda, Sadie, Ian and Conor onto the programme where they battled it out to take home the all-important cash prize.

This week, the quartet went up against who is widely known as one of the strongest chasers on the show.

But fans were sunned when the brainiac got a whopping four questions wrong on the first round, sending a player who performed terribly into the final. It didn’t end there, as her terrible performance continued.

After Paul Sinha’s equally surprising flop on an earlier episode as he too struggle with easy questions, fans aren’t buying it an believe it’s an intentional move by producers.

“Why have the best chasers been so bad lately? it can’t be a coincidence? do you think ITV is doing it to make the show easier or better for the players?” one fan asked on X.

Another agreed: “#thechase this must be a fix coz paul was terrible the other day too what is going on ITV?” More chimed in remarking on Anne’s performance: “Is this Anne’s not-so-bright identical twin sister on the show?”, “What is Anne doing?!” and “Damn Anne, what’s going on?”
