Tuesday's episode of The Chase on ITV had us all gripped.

Viewers watched enraptured as teammates Bill, Clare and Bill faced the intellectual might of the Dark Destroyer - Shawn Wallace.

The usually cool and collected Shaun seem very flustered with he tried to answer  questions from presenter Bradley Walsh, reports The Mirro r.

His rival team managed to beat him with big help from member Geoff, a solicitor.

"Butterkist is the UK's biggest seller of what snack food?" asked Bradley.

"Biscuits," guessed Shaun, before the team of three answered correctly that it was popcorn.

Shaun then took what seemed like an eternity to answer who directed the films Marie Antoinette and Lost In Translation before getting the answer wrong.

He was then asked: "In 1970 who entered the Commons as MP for North Antrim?" After getting the answer wrong again, on the other team, Geoff answered Ian Paisley.

"What a great answer that is, well played!" Bradley told him.

Viewers took to Twitter to voice their worries.

One said: "Shaun, Shaun is falling apart again  #TheChase,"

While another fumed: " #thechase  shaun that was pathetic..."  One viewer was left very amused joking: "Made a right royal arse of that Shaun.  #TheChase  "

Shaun also didn't know the lyrics to a Beatles song - but one of the opposing team members answered correctly.

If that wasn't bad enough he lost precious time on a question about berries, but still gave the incorrect answer.

Eventually the Dark Destroyer had a run of three in a row right answers.  But the late surge was not enough and the opposing team were able to "outrun the Chaser".

Dignified in defeat he said: "This game is all about margins, a couple of lucky guesses from Clare and Geoff... but they performed well in the final chase, I'm not going to take anything away from that.

"Well played."
