The Chase's Shaun Wallace stunned as contestant warns 'I'll knock you out' in fiery showdown | The Sun

THE Chase's Shaun Wallace was left shocked after a contestant warned him "I'll knock you out" in an intense battle.

The ITV gameshow returned to screens with Bradley Walsh welcoming four new contestants to the stage.

Terri, Diego, Claire, and Jack were up against Shaun "The Dark Destroyer" as they competed for the big cash prize.

Shaun didn't spare the players either; the 62-year-old defeated two competitors with ease and no effort.

Next up on the podium to test her knowledge, was Claire, from Manchester who wowed viewers at home with her attractiveness.

She showed that she wasn't all beauty and no brains, as she racked up an incredible £7,000 during the cash builder round.

Even though Claire was scared when confronted with The Dark Destroyer, she attempted to talk big.

As Shaun took his seat, he joked that she would be the next contender to leave.

Shaun said: "Hello Claire, right I'm going to knock you out."

Claire then shockingly snapped back: "Well I'm going to knock you out!"

Bradley, 63 immediately weighed in, telling Claire that Shaun didn't mean it in a physical fight sense, but only in the game.

"He doesn't mean physically, he means in the game. [As if you said] 'I'll knock you out!," Bradley said.

The ITV host then mocked fellow presenter Harry Hill by shouting "FIGHT!" as he used to do on his TV show, Harry Hill's TV Burp.

Claire was unable to defeat the Chaser and was eliminated after a nail-biting round.
