BEAT The Chasers’ Paul Sinha shot co-star Jenny Ryan an icy glare last night – when she punched him for getting a question wrong.
The 50-year-old quiz champ, dubbed The Sinnerman, bungled an answer about Star Wars and got a whack on his shoulder.
In the seconds that followed, the fuming pair were shown staring each other down – not realising they had another question to answer.
Jenny, appearing to take exception at Paul jumping in on one of her specialist topics, was seen leaning over with a face like thunder.
One fan gasped: “That was nasty the Vixen hitting The Sinnerman.”
Another tweeted: “The way the Vixen had a go at The Sinnerman for getting that Star Wars question wrong. Then she got the next question wrong herself.”
Paul explained the drama on Twitter after the show aired on ITV last night, striking a conciliatory tone.
He admitted: “I know Sweet FA about Star Wars. It just wasn’t my question to answer. I just heard a hard T sound twice and assumed the answer must be Tatooine.
“We make mistakes. Jenny was right to be angry. Neither of us were tight to stare at each other. Both of us had totally forgotten that the next question was ours.
“In that four seconds, both of us looked ridiculous. It was exhilirating at the time, and p**s funny as well. It is funny when things go wrong.
