Viewers claim The Chase contestant Terry should be KNIGHTED for ‘best ever’ performance
The outstanding quizzer was even praised by Chaser Anne Hegarty, who said he could be playing at 'international level'
IT'S a rare sight to behold when Anne Hegarty is schooled by a player on The Chase.
But The Governess took her hat off to contestant Terry last night, as he put in a performance that viewers claimed deserved a knighthood.
Terry, an IT consultant from Croydon, South London, told how he recently played in the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas - coming 500th out of 1,500 - and would be keen to go back if he won on the show.
He then managed to scoop an incredible £50,000 by himself after taking the higher offer.
During his head-to-head with The Governess, she admitted to host Bradley Walsh that Terry was "starting to worry" her.
Dubbed The Telminator by the Chase gang, he dominated the final chase, helping put them an incredible 22 steps ahead of Hegarty. The trio went on to win £61,000 overall.
Speaking about Terry's performance, Anne admitted: "I can't remember when I last played a better player."
She later tweeted: "Terry could be playing at international level in a couple of years. Outstanding quizzer."
Viewers were equally impressed, with many suggesting Terry should become a Chaser on the show.
George McKillop tweeted: "If getting £10k in the cash builder doesn't deserve a knighthood then I don't know what does ."
Lewis Freeland commented: "Terry on The Chase, smashed it. What a hero."
And James Haycox wrote: "Jeeez! Terry on The Chase is a quiz genius!"
