Bradley Walsh was left stunned on The Chase as a contestant made history on the ITV quiz show. Despite not taking home any winnings, the host praised the player's impressive performance, saying, "how proud" his family must be. George from Tonbridge, Willis from Liverpool, Margaret from St Neots, and Aaban from Rotherham joined forces in hopes of snagging a cash prize. They faced off against Chaser Shaun Wallace to showcase their trivia prowess but three members of the team were quickly caught, missing out on the final chase and their share of the money - leaving 19-year-old Aaban to bring home the win alone.
With the teenager left standing alone, he bravely opted for a high-stakes £100,000 offer. In a remarkable turn, he aced the head-to-head round, earning a shot at the grand prize solo. However, the final chase proved too much, with Aaban only managing seven correct answers. The Chaser, needing a mere eight to win, caught him within a minute, reports the Express. Although Aaban left empty-handed, Bradley was full of admiration, telling him: "You're 19, you're on your own and you just beat a MasterMind champion. Your family will be dead proud of you.".
Chaser Shaun also commended him, saying: "You're still a winner. To make TV history as the youngest player to get to the final with that type of money, you should be proud.". Aaban remained high-spirited despite the loss, confessing his contentment by saying: "I'm really proud. I didn't think I'd get this far so to come here and make it to the final with £100,000. I don't mind not winning. This is enough.".
