Tom, who is jetting off to become a teacher in Portugal, managed to bank a respectable £5,000 in his cash builder and was faced with a tough decision when The Chase star Paul Sinha laid out his options.
Though, when The Sinnerman brought an offer of £33,000 to the table, his teammates Sue and Patrick lit up.
“You may never get another chance in your life to win £33,000,” chimed Patrick. “I think that’s the one to go for.”
Though, Tom didn’t agree, admitting: “I came here with a game plan,” before taking the minus £3,000.
Naturally his teammates were fuming and Patrick didn’t hold back.
“You might be off my Christmas card list,” he fumed.
Regardless, Thomas lost his head-to-head with the Chaser, and the audience at home celebrated his downfall in their droves.
“Buzzing Thomas got caught, bet Patrick is happy too, that’s what happens when you take -£3000 offer on @ITVChase zero dignity,” snapped one viewer, as another teased: “Goodbye Thomas good riddence.”
A third grinned: “Could Sue have looked any happier that Thomas got caught then that smile just about fit on her face.”
Also on today’s programme, Bradley Walsh was forced to shut down Sue after her alter-ego proposed.
The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV.
