An Edinburgh contestant on ITV’s The Chase was ridiculed by Chaser Anne Hegerty after she revealed how she would spend any prize money she won. 65-year-old Pam appeared on the popular<\/a> quiz on New Year’s Day as the latest series got underway.<\/p>\n

The retired lecturer previously worked as a respiratory nurse<\/a> for nearly 20 years before training nurses across the UK and Hong Kong. Along with fellow contestants Bean, Jack and Peter, she faced the Chaser known as “The Governess”.<\/p>\n

When asked by host Bradley Walsh what she would do if she won some money on the show, she explained she wanted to go to Glastonbury- but stay somewhere with “a proper mattress, good loos and a bar in the corner where you can get a cocktail”.<\/p>\n

She scooped an impressive \u00a35,000 in her cash builder round before facing Anne, who was quick to respond with scorn.<\/p>\n

The formidable quizzer said to the amusement<\/a> of Bradley: “You want to go to Glastonbury with a mattress and a clean loo? Who do you think you are, Adele?”<\/p>\n

She went on to compliment Pam for her choice of top – a very colourful blouse patterned with various dog breeds – and her efforts, before adding: “So I particularly want to get rid of you.”<\/p>\n

After coming dangerously close to being caught<\/a>, Pam made it home and dry to the team with her \u00a35,000, bringing the total prize fund to \u00a318,000.<\/p>\n

With final contestant Peter knocked out, Pam, Bean and Jack went on to the Final Chase. Despite a fairly strong performance of 19 points, the trio were caught with six seconds remaining and went home with nothing.<\/p>\n

During the show, viewers were quick to share their views on social media. Many also picked up on The Governess’ observation about the contestants’ names.<\/p>\n

She commented: “Have you noticed Bradley we’ve got a theme?”, before explaining: “Peter, Pam, which is like Peter Pan and Jack and the Bean(stalk).”<\/p>\n

One fan wrote on X: “A panto-themed show? Oh no, it isn\u2019t!”<\/p>\n

Another added: “The producers on The Chase knew exactly what they were doing putting this team together.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"65-year-old Pam faced the formidable quizzer known as “The Governess” in one of the newest episodes of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":671459,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8816],"tags":[748,1102,77,4884,712,15722,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-671458","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-edinburgh","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-edinburgh","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-scotland","13":"tag-the-chase","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115831989428148767","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671458","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=671458"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671458\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/671459"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=671458"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=671458"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=671458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
