After the show, social media users were rife with indignation on Esnart's behalf.

Fellow Twitter user, Georgia, tweeted: "Esnart was robbed of that! She got the answer right. #BeatTheChasers."
And another person, Mark, tweeted: "Wow #BeatTheChasers - that was harsh on Esnart. Aristocats...? You knew what she meant."
