There were red faces all around on after paralympian Hollie Arnold made a hilariously awkward blunder during her cash builder round in a celebrity special of the quiz show. The alumnus was joined by her former jungle campmates , Giovanna Fletcher and Russell Watson as they took on - also known as The Sinnerman - in a bid to raise money for charity.

But things took an unexpected turn when Arnold was asked by host : "In 2019, which boxer beat Andy Ruiz Jr to reclaim his heavyweight world titles?" She confidently fired back: "AJ Pritchard." Cue laughter from the studio. Realising her mistake, Arnold quickly pointed at the professional dancer sat just feet away and corrected herself mid-giggle. "I meant to say AJ!" she said, referring of course to , the actual boxing champ - not the star.

Pritchard took it in good humour, joking: "I'll take it anyway," while Walsh chimed in with a dig of his own: "You're getting your AJ Pritchards mixed up with your Anthony Joshuas."

Even The Sinnerman couldn't resist a jab, quipping: "Not only are you a world champion javelin thrower, you've created a world champion boxer in seat one."

Despite the mix-up, Arnold secured £3,000 during her round - though she later opted to play it safe with the lower offer of £1,000 to ensure her return to the team.

The foursome ultimately made it to the Final Chase with a total jackpot of £72,000 up for grabs.

But the group fell at the final hurdle - caught by the Chaser with just eight seconds remaining. Arnold, who didn't manage to answer a single question in the final, still walked away with £1,000 for her chosen charity, as did each of her teammates.

The episode - which originally aired less than two months ago - was a repeat broadcast, something fans of the show have slammed ITV for.

The show was recently slammed by viewers for recycling a celebrity special. England football legend David James joined celebs Lianne Sanderson, Dion Dublin and Shaun Williamson as they faced off against Chaser

With just weeks having passed since the original episode was broadcast, one unimpressed fan posted on X: "Another repeat even when it's for charity? Lazy @ITV very lazy!"

Others joined in with: "A no from me celeb repeat WTF," and: "How many times are they going to play this episode?"

Another viewer vented: "Are we in repeat season for #thechase now? No new episodes until September? If so, why not give it a rest and show something else?"

Another blasted: "Over 1100 episodes recorded and @ITV decide to repeat a repeat that was on 3 weeks ago !!! Brilliant"

The Chase airs weekdays on ITV at 5pm
