Bradley Walsh brought The Chase to an unexpected standstill when Jenny Ryan's revelation left him utterly gobsmacked.
In Thursday's episode of the hit ITV quiz show, Bradley greeted contestants Mark, Izzie, James and Annie as they faced off against The Vixen.
Solihull's mature student Mark bagged £7,000 in his cash builder and was the first to make it to the final chase after a face-off with Jenny. Following on was Izzie, who also put up a strong show with £5,000.
She, like Mark, opted for the middle offer. During their head-to-head, they were quizzed: "What is the subject of the 2020 Netflix documentary series High Score?"
Both Izzie and Jenny nailed it with "video games", prompting Bradley to probe: "What's the highest score you've ever got on a video game?"
The Vixen wasn't sure but concurred with Bradley that it was likely quite high. "You can get ridiculously high scores on the kind of games I play, like Lego Avengers."

Just as Jenny began to divulge a score she'd racked up, Bradley interjected. "Hold the line," he declared, probing: "Did you just say Lego adventures?"
Once Jenny set the record straight about the game, Bradley couldn't resist a cheeky dig at his colleague.
"What about the ones adults play?" he quipped, eliciting chuckles from Jenny. "What about things like Minecraft and Fortnight? Aren't they adult ones?"
The Vixen clapped back: "All games are adult and potentially child-friendly games."
The round went on, but soon enough Izzie was eliminated after being caught by Jenny. Secondary school teacher James managed to secure £4,000 in his initial round before bravely taking the higher offer of £40,000.

Despite a valiant effort, James ultimately got caught by the chaser. The last contestant, Annie, aimed to win some cash to replace an engagement ring she'd lost over 45 years ago, which her partner had given her.
She garnered a commendable £8,000 in her cash builder and fortunately for Mark, made it through to the final chase. In the final, Mark and Annie played for £15,000, ending with a total of 13 points.
Jenny experienced a rocky start in the final chase, only answering three questions correctly within the first 55 seconds. Nonetheless, The Vixen managed to turn things around, catching the pair with merely three seconds to spare.
At the close of the game, Jenny remarked: "I have astonished myself that I managed to catch you as you saw I struggled to build a rhythm."
The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV1.

While they can't impact tonight's winner, they are still on hand to give their thoughts on the evening performances. With Wildcard singing duo Han and Fran kicking off the evening with an ABBA Medley, one judge seemed to be swept away with their act. Bruno, who previously judged Strictly Come Dancing, got up from out of his seat to give his deliberations. The judge is known for his flamboyant hand movements when describing acts, but viewers became annoyed when they noted that he couldn't seem to remain in his seat. After Ping Pong Pang - a paddle-focused dance act - completed their routine, Bruno gave his deliberations to the dance crew and the audience by standing up and recreating some of the moves, telling them he "loved them" by making heart symbols. He later remained stood up after the judges gave singing choir Hear Our Voice – made up of those affected by the Post Office scandal. "Someone glue Bruno to his seat FFGS," noted one viewer. "WTF is Bruno doing ? Sit the f'ing hell down." "Why can't Bruno sit down?," said a third, while a fourth commented: "Bruno is annoying why does he keep wanting all the attention when he's giving his comments?

This evening, May 31, marked the momentous 2025 final of ITV's beloved talent contest Britain's Got Talent, where a total of 11 acts took to the stage for their final performances in hopes of swaying the public vote to become the winner of BGT 2025. The finalists comprised 10 audience favourites who had qualified earlier and one wildcard act, which was revealed to be Han and Fran.

But post a side-splitting act by comedian Joseph Charm, judge Bruno, 69, became overly enthusiastic and let slip an expletive during his critique. Ex-Strictly Come Dancing stalwart Bruno couldn't contain himself as he said: "We were just p*****g" before instantly correcting himself, saying: "Oh sorry, we were just crying with laughter!" Dec swiftly intervened apologising for Bruno's spontaneous swearing. The presenter said: "Apologies if you were offended by Bruno's slip of tongue there, it's a live show, very emotional."

One user tweeted: "Bruno just said p*****g with laughter oooops #BGT", while another joked that the slip-up was the highlight of the final so far: "Bruno saying p*****g has probably been the best part of this final so far. #BGT". A different account shared that they were still chuckling about the incident 15 minutes later: "I'm sorry but Bruno swearing on Britains Got Talent has got me in stitches even 15 minutes after, so funny so funny #BGT." However, not everyone felt an apology was necessary, as they admitted to not being offended by the accidental blunder. One viewer questioned: "Who's gonna be offended by someone saying "p*****g" jeez #bgt". Another account expressed a similar sentiment: "Imagine being offended by Bruno saying "we were all p*****g with laughter" #JosephCharm #BGT #BritainsGotTalent". Earlier in the live final, Ant and Dec revealed that singing duo Han and Fran had secured the judges' wildcard spot While a third user chimed in, commenting on the need for an apology: "Wow, you have to apologise now because the word p*****g was said #bgt." Earlier in the live final, Ant and Dec revealed that singing duo Han and Fran had secured the judges' wildcard spot. "Han and Fran got the wildcard, which I'm very pleased about," Ant announced, before head judge Simon Cowell explained the reasoning behind the decision: "They got a massive vote from the public and therefore, they deserve the shot in the final. It's as simple as that, I'm happy for them." The Welsh-based best friends, Han and Fran, kicked off the performances with a medley of ABBA hits, including Take A Chance On Me, Does Your Mother Know, and Mamma Mia.

BGT fans all issue complaint over Wildcard after 'ridiculous' rule change
The 2025 final of Britain's Got Talent kicked off on ITV1 tonight with presenters Ant and Dec revealing which act had returned to the competition as this year's Wildcard act Britain's Got Talent viewers have been left torn over this year's Wildcard act as the 2025 final kicked off on ITV. After months of auditions and live shows, the latest series of BGT comes to an end tonight in the supersized live final. Just minutes into the final, however, hosts Ant and Dec announced that Welsh singing duo Han and Fran had been chosen by the judges as the Wildcard act after narrowly missing out on a place in the final during last weekend's live show. The singing pair were first to take to the stage tonight, singing a mega-mix of ABBA songs; however, viewers were left divided over whether they were the right pick for the Wildcard. "Can't believe the wildcard choice, some brilliant acts could have been picked over them #BGTFinal," one viewer wrote. Another said on X, formerly known as Twitter: "So many better acts should've been chosen as the wild card. #BGT." Not all viewers were unimpressed, however, with many praising the duo. "VERY happy with this year's wildcard - fun, not 'up themselves' & absolutely British! #BritainsGotTalent #BGT," one fan tweeted. Another said: "I'm kinda happy Han & Fran got the wildcard I quite liked them. But I do agree that there were better acts who deserved it over them. #BGT." A third wrote: "Han and Fran being the wildcard is the campest thing ever I'm obsessed! #bgt." After Han and Fran's performance, judge Simon Cowell spoke about how they chose the duo as their Wildcard pick as the audience loved them - leading to some confusion among the viewers online. "Who picked the wildcard? Judges or the public? #BritainsGotTalent #BGT," one asked. However, some called for a change to the Wildcard rule, proposing that it should be the viewers who get to choose the returning act and not the judges. "Why can't the audience have a wild card? Ridiculous #bgt." Tonight's final has so far seen dance group Ping Pong Pang and singer Stacey Leadbeatter perform, with eight more acts set to take to the stage. However, the judges were the first to make their debut in the final - with Amanda Holden wowing the crowd and audience at home with her stunning white gown. Earlier today, many fans were convinced that they had worked out who was set to win this year's final after the bookies revealed that Hear Our Voice - a choir made up of victims of the Post Office Horizon scandal - were the favourite.
