THE Chase viewers were left in hysterics after contestant Karen threatened to ‘hunt down’ another player for taking the low offer.
Fans called her “iconic” for the brutally honest threat to teammate Sarah if she took The Beast’s minus £3000 during tonight’s episode.
After accumulating 19,000, the fourth contestant to face the Chaser was Sarah.
Sarah managed to get £6,000 in her cash builder, with a high offer of £61,000 and a low offer of minus £3,000.
Sarah turned to her fellow teammates for guidance – but wasn’t ready for Karen’s advice.
She said: “I have a very select set of skills and if you take the minus I will hunt you down.”
After a nervous laugh from Sarah, Karen added: “No, I’m teasing”.
And then she said: “You did really well in the cash builder, take the six.”
Host Bradley Walsh laughed at Karen’s banter and called her “brilliant!”
However, Sarah was obviously shaken and admitted: “I am very scared of Karen, so I’m going to go for the six.”
Fans were quick to share their amusement on Twitter as one viewer said: “Karen’s an actual legend! “If you take the minus, I will hunt you down!” #TheChase”
Another wrote: “Karen: If you do take the minus, I will hunt you down!!! Yesss Karen is our HERO!!! #TheChase”
A third penned: “Tell her Karen #TheChase”
And a fourth said: “Karen is being iconic #TheChase”
Sarah managed to get back for the final chase while adding £6,000 to the jackpot, raising it to £25,000.
However, the contestants lost against The Beast, Mark Labbett, as they were caught with 17 seconds remaining.
Could another contestant be as honest as Karen?
The Chase continues on Tuesday at 5pm on ITV.
