The Chase's Highest Solo Winner Responds To His £75,000 Triumph

20-year-old Eden Nash, who became the biggest individual winner on ITV game show The Chase has broken his silence following his £75,000 win.

Nash, who successfully answered 22 questions correctly - including four push backs - updated his Twitter profile to reflect his new-found daytime telly celebrity.

His bio now reads: "The Chase...is on."

He also pinned a tweet to the top of that profile that reads: "The Chase? Completed it mate."

Fair enough, the young man from Bishop Stortford has a lot to be proud of. After all, very few people beat the chasers, let alone scooping £75,000 in the process.

Since he shared that tweet, it's been liked nearly 8,000 times and retweeted more than 300 times.

Eden, who is currently unemployed, clearly impressed a number of regular viewers of the show with his performance against chaser Darragh Ennis.

One person commented: "Absolutely fantastic!! I was screaming at the telly!! I watch The Chase every single day and this has to be my favourite episode!! Well done you deserved every penny so happy for you."

Another said: "This is first class tweeting. What a performance today, lad. Have you spent it yet or you still looking at it in your account?"

A third said: "Smashed it more like. Well done, you were brilliant. We were roaring for you in our kitchen! Enjoy the money"

Now, the 20-year-old has to think about what he's going to do with the cash, although he did outline a few ideas to host Bradley Walsh before embarking on his remarkable run to victory.

He said: "Maybe buy a car, nothing fancy, just something with four wheels.

"Maybe an Alfa Romeo."

When Bradley joked about his swish choice of car brand, Eden said: "Probably just a very old, second-hand one."

He can certainly afford one of those now.

Upon completion of the show, Bradley told Eden: "Seventy-five grand. Twenty years of age. Who's your best mate?

"It's the single highest win in a daytime show ever - and you're 20."

Of course, several winners on Deal Or No Deal would disagree with Brad's claim there, given that they scooped £250,000, but still.

Even chaser Darragh was magnanimous after his win, telling Eden: "What a show. Absolutely brilliantly played, Eden.

"You set a very high target and you pushed me back... I don't know how many times, but enough to win the money."

Well, get yourself a new car Eden, you've completed it, mate.
