The Chase fans begged ‘please stop’ as they dubbed a contestant’s habit ‘one of the most annoying things ever seen on the show’ during Wednesday’s episode.

ITV contestant Samir, from Surrey, joined host Bradley Walsh in the studio as he and three other teammates attempted to take on the Chaser.

When Samir was called away from his fellow compeтιтors – Jill from Abergele in Denbighshire, Godfrey from London, and Lilli from Cardiff – he faced Anne Hegerty in his head-to-head after winning a respectable £5,000.

The Governess asked her first opponent what he would like to do with his potential winnings, to which he cheekily responded that he wanted to take Maya Jama out on a date.

He said: ‘I should invest it, which is a little bit boring. but I’d really like to take Maya Jama out for dinner.’

His remarks left the audience and Bradley Walsh in hysterics, as the show host quipped parroted his words in disbelief.

And while his battle against the Chaser was a success, his chances of securing a date may not be as triumphant as viewers spotted an ‘annoying habit’.

Flocking to social media, ITV fans penned: ‘Can’t cope with all his long explanations #thechase.’

‘Are the explanations necessary? Please stop! #TheChase.’

‘This dude thinks he’s making a TikTok. Turning to Bradley after each answer to explain it and using his hands. Possibly one of the most annoying things I’ve seen on this show.’

‘Samir with his bl***y hands and explanations #Thechase’

‘Thanks for the explanations to your answers, Samir! I’m sure they weren’t too long! #TheChase.’

‘Stop overexplaining every answer lad, this show only lasts an hour #TheChase.’

‘Can Samir be any more annoying …’

‘How’s Samir going to answer a question in the final without a 2 min description each time?’

The episode comes after Anne looked nothing short of sensational as she returned to The Chase for the Christmas celebrity special in December.

The Chaser embraced the festive spirit as she ditched her usual grey suit and slipped into a stunning navy glittering dress, which boasted mesh embellished sleeves.

She wore a glamorous palette of makeup accentuating her beauty and wore a pair of eye catching dazzling silver drop earrings.  

The 66-year-old star was introduced by host Bradley Walsh and took her seat to face first contestant, McFly drummer Harry Judd.

Anne also caught the eyes of ITV viewers at home who quickly took to X to comment how ‘beautiful’ and ‘amazing’ she looked.
