The Chase viewers eat their words after cruelly ripping into blonde contestant ‘who thinks she’s eye candy’

THE CHASE viewers were left eating their words after they cruelly ripped into a pretty blonde contestant.

Holly appeared on Monday’s episode of the quiz show, but was written off as simply “eye candy”.

She was offered a massive £58,000 for the Chaser

But the Dolly Parton went on to shock her critics as she pulled off an impressive cash builder round.

The 28-year-old language researcher from Houghton le Spring, could not believe it when she was offered a high offer of £58,000 from Jenny ‘The Vixen’ Ryan.

This was alongside a lower offer of minus £3,000, or her accumulated £4,000.

Fans watching, immediately jumped on Twitter and assumed she would take The Vixen’s minus offer.

One wrote: “#TheChase Holly thinks she’s eye candy she’ll be going low.”

Another added: “”Holly guaranteed to go low #TheChase”.

But Holly – who earlier told host Bradley Walsh she planned to visit Dolly Parton’s Dollyland with any winnings, while taking her dog Molly to Doggyland – opted to stick with her original £4,000.

As she successfully answered the questions one after the other, Bradley commented that Holly “could have gone for it [the higher offer]” and that she was a “good player”.

Admitting their initial thoughts about the contestant were wrong, one fan said on social media: “Holly on the chase impressed me.

“I wrote her off but she smashed it in the final Clapping hands sign #TheChase”.

Another quipped: “The majority of people on here had it in for Holly, but she showed them! Well done, Holly. #TheChase”.

A third wrote: “Shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover, just coz she’s blonde and has creosote on doesn’t mean she’s a dumb blonde #holly got as many correct as the rest of the team #thechase”.

One joked: “Lol. Holly just shut up all you Twitter t**ts huh? #TheChase”.

In the final chase, Holly continued to impress with her fellow contestants Steve and Tim.

Unfortunately, the trio failed to bank the cash but Chaser Jenny described Holly as a “vital part” of the team.

The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV.
