She’s had a nightmare here.
Jade Jones is used to the pressure of defending roundhouse kicks to her face but she came unstuck when faced with the bright lights of The Chase.
Jones, a two-time Olympic gold medallist in Taekwondo, came up with a wonderfully incorrect answer during last weekend’s celebrity special.
Jones was joined on the panel by comedian Arthur Smith, Strictly Come Dancing star Aljaz Skorjanec and singer Paul Young but only Jones and Skorjanec made it through to the final chase, which didn’t go according to plan.
Good luck @AljazSkorjanec and @jadejonestkd #TheFinalChaseIsOn

It was then that host Bradley Walsh asked the pair: “The Pixar film Brave is mainly set in which UK country?”
Jones clearly rushed her answer as she came up with: “London.” (The correct answer is Scotland).
Social media had its way with Jones as they could not believe that she’d think London was a country in the United Kingdom.
Oh dear! London a country? @jadejonestkd Don't change your day job! #TheChase #backtoschool

But, credit to the Welsh athlete, she saw the funny side of the mistake and took to Twitter to acknowledge the gaffe.
