It was a quiz-heavy night last night (Sunday, December 29th) on ITV, as Quizmaster and The Chase Celebrity Special aired back-to-back.
While the vast knowledge of TV’s most famous brainiacs impressed viewers on Quizmaster, they were less enthused when the celebrities took on The Chase.
In the special celeb episode, actress Leonie Elliott took on The Beast, but did not get very far with her general knowledge. However, that wasn’t the only thing which caught the attention of viewers, as Leonie was sat down the entire episode.
So, why was did Leonie Elliott sit down on The Chase?

She is best known for her role as Lucille Anderson in BBC series Call the Midwife. Leonie joined the cast back in January 2018 and has become one of the core characters since.
Some other shows Leonie has starred in include Black Mirror (2016), Danny and the Human Zoo, and Casualty.
Mark “The Beast” Labbett was not going to let Leonie get away with the fact she was sitting down during her round of The Chase.
But host Bradley Walsh wasn’t going to let the episode’s chaser get under Leonie’s skin. Bradley leapt to Leonie’s defence claiming that she was sat down due to a sprained ankle.
