The Chase fans swoon over ‘beautiful’ contestant – but things soon take an unfortunate turn
QUIZ show fans couldn’t get enough of “beautiful” contestant Ashley Jones on last night’s episode of The Chase.
Ashley, a construction graduate from Liverpool, competed on Thursday night’s episode of the ITV quiz show and dazzled viewers with her beauty and brains.
She hoped to win some cash so she could pay for her mum’s skincare treatment and treat her boyfriend to a holiday for his 30th birthday.
Ashley whizzed through her cash builder round, racking up £6,000.
She stuck with that amount when she went head-to-head against The Dark Destroyer, who she defeated.
Afterward, The Chase fans could help but comment since Ashley was stealing the show.
“What a beautiful, intelligent girl Ashley is #thechase,” one viewer said.
“#thechase Yes! Well done Ashley. Smart young girl,” complimented another.
