The Chase is no stranger to receiving accusations of fixing, with The Vixen even defending the show as far back as 2017.
She explained in a tweet how the questions, which are written by world champion quiz masters, are chosen for each episode.
“It is the team who pick the question set A or B, overseen by independent adjudicator,”; The Vixen wrote in 2017.
“The questions are only ‘easy’ if you know the answer. Look up ‘confirmation bias.’ We all answer more quickly/interrupt when we are face high scores, we have to to win.”;
The Chase airs weekdays on ITV1 from 5pm and is available to stream on ITVX.
