Victim of 'theft' on The Chase responds

Three contestants on The Chase were branded "thieves" by people on social media after they accepted negative offers from the chaser. Now the man who initially won the team £9000 (NZ $15,942) has responded to the hate his teammates have received.

Darragh Ennis has defended the other players' quiz show sins saying: "Can people ease off my teammates. It's a lot harder on camera than sitting on the couch at home.

"They're good people who crumbled under a lot of pressure."

The team ended up beating the chaser and walking away with £6300 (NZ $ 11,161) - $ 2790 each.

Darragh revealed what he did with his share of the winnings - which he said he spent not long after the show.

"My wife had it spent on a new door pretty much before I got home!"

What a good sport!
