“92 YEARS OLD… AND WHAT SHE DID NEXT LEFT EVERYONE SPEECHLESS” Viewers of The Chase couldn’t believe it when Margaret revealed her age — a remarkable 92 — before stepping up with a smile and saying, “Let’s give it a go, shall we?” What followed wasn’t just impressive… it was unforgettable.

The Chase fans were left stunned during Thursday’s episode when a contestant revealed her remarkable age. Margaret, a lively 92-year-old from St Neots, Cambridgeshire, made history as the oldest female competitor ever on the popular ITV quiz show.

The episode featured Margaret alongside fellow contestants Aaban, Willis, and George. While sharing details about her life, Margaret’s age revelation left both host Bradley Walsh and viewers in awe.

Margaret explained she had moved 33 times during her life, thanks to her late husband’s career in the RAF. She revealed that her son Matthew had previously competed on The Chase, winning an impressive £25,000. His success inspired her to try her luck on the show.

Bradley was visibly amazed, calling Margaret “an inspiration” and remarking on how youthful she looked. “You’re 92? You look incredible!” he said, while also praising her bravery for taking on the challenge.
