The Chase: The questions Bishop's Stortford's Eden Nash was asked on his way to winning £75,000 on TV quiz show

Former Birchwood High School student Eden Chase, from Bishop's Stortford, won £75,000 single-handedly on TV quiz show The Chase.

Eden – who was 20 when the episode was filmed in early 2020, before the coronavirus pandemic – was the only one in his team of four who made it through to the final chase in the programme screened on ITV on Tuesday (August 31).

There was little sign that he was on course for what is the biggest ever daytime TV quiz show win by a single contestant when he got a modest three out of nine correct in his Cash Builder round.

In the next round, Chasing the Money at the table, he plumped without hesitation for the higher offer of £75,000 put to him by Chaser Darragh 'The Menace' Ennis and got six out of seven right to progress to the final chase.

There, he correctly answered 18 questions put to him in his two minutes. He then watched as Darragh managed to get only 15 of his own set of questions right. Crucially, of the seven the Chaser got wrong, Eden got four correct to "push back" his opponent.
