Bradley Walsh angers The Chase fans by ‘giving away’ answer after on-air blunder
BRADLEY Walsh has angered fans of The Chase by ‘giving away’ an answer in an on-air blunder.
The presenter, 62, has hosted the beloved ITV quiz show since its first episode in 2009.
It sees four contestants answer a series of general knowledge questions in the hope of winning a cash jackpot.
However, standing in their way is a group of quiz masters known as the ‘Chasers’.
But during one episode Bradley left fans fuming at home over a slip up he made.
As he attempted to read out a question for a contestant Bradley erupted into laughter.
Struggling to contain his giggles he said: “In an old saying, ‘He who sups with the Devil should have a long…’ what?”
He eventually contained himself enough to re-read the questions and its three potential answers again.
However, fans believed Walsh spoiled the show by giving away the correct answer during his fit of laughter.
One said: “Don’t give away the answer is B by laughing at the other two answers will you! #thechase.”
A second remarked: “Talk about spoiling it Brad.”
“Bradley fake cracking up again? #TheChase,” said a third.
While a fourth commented: “Seriously it’s not that funny can we get on with it.”
Meanwhile, fans of The Chase may think they’ve heard the same question being asked before by Bradley – and that’s because it probably has.
Fraser Cameron, who sets the questions for the competition, has revealed how it all works.
Speaking to Radio Times, he said: “Everything you can possibly imagine has already been asked on The Chase at some point.
“There are more than half a million questions on our mammoth database.
“I look at what’s been written before and try to write something in an original way. That’s the hardest part of the job.”
