The Chase viewers were left amazed on Tuesday as 20-year-old contestant Eden made history with the biggest ever solo win on the show. 

The competitor scooped the prize after earning £3,000 in the cash builder and then choosing to go for the higher offer of £75,000 in the final round.

According to Bradley Walsh, this is the biggest ever win on a daytime TV show by a solo player.

The host said: “I can’t believe it! This is incredible, he’s 20 years old and just won £75,000.

“It’s the single highest win in daytime history.”

Eden took the prize money home after answering 19 questions correctly, beating the previous record held by a contestant Judith, who won £70,000 in 2019. 

When asked how he would spend his winnings, the competitor said he would buy a car.

Eden told the host: “I suppose a car would be nice. But nothing snazzy. Just anything with four wheels.’” 

The young contestant was then congratulated by Chaser Darragh.

He said: “You did very well, it was all about the pushbacks in the end.”

Viewers also took to Twitter and congratulated Eden on his history-making win, branding the moment ‘sensational’. 

One person tweeted: “One of the all-time great performances on The Chase from Eden. Sensational stuff.”

Another added: “The most incredible episode of The Chase I’ve ever seen. Eden’s a brilliant quizzer who I can quite honestly say I fancied even before he had £75,000 to his name.”

It comes after the programme was criticised by fans on Monday evening, over asking a contestant who was blind ‘unfair’ questions.
