More info 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." (Image: ITV) 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. (Image: ITV) 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.

Grimacing Bradley Walsh roars 'what's the matter with you?!' as The Chase player 'injures' him minutes into show
A grimacing Bradley Walsh roared 'what's the matter with you?!' when a player on The Chase 'injured' him mid-show. Wednesday's instalment of the ITV show saw Niall, Philip, Amy and Alexia take on Jenny Ryan, known as The Vixen, in an attempt to win some cash. Niall, from Falkirk, was up first and bagged a respectable £6,000 for the team, but when Bradley went to congratulate him, things took a turn. The host held out his hand to shake and said, 'Well played Niall'. However, when the player shook Bradley's hand, the TV star exclaimed: 'Oh you've got a strong handshake, that's unnecessary that!' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Bradley tentatively cupped his hand as the audience laughed and Niall replied: 'Sorry Bradley.' 'What's the matter with you?!' the host roared back. The other players laughed as Bradley went on, 'I've got to shake everybody's hand and you've hurt me now, it's unnecessary.' Niall continued to apologise as he returned to his seat. Bradley smiled at the camera and joked, 'Like a pincer movement! Thought he was going to throw me there.' By the end of the episode, all four players made it back to the table and built up an impressive prize pot of £22,000. However, when they took on Chaser Jenny one last time in the final round, they fell short and were beat. It comes after fans of The Chase raged 'enough is enough' and blasted an 'incredibly annoying' problem with the show. Tuesday's instalment of the ITV quiz programme, hosted by Bradley Walsh , saw four players, Andy, Jan, Billy and Hannah take on Chaser Darragh Ennis, known as The Menace. In the end, the entire team made it to the final chase against Darragh with a prize pot of £8,000. They managed to beat the Chaser with just one point remaining between them. But viewers were left frustrated with something completely unrelated to the game play. Gala Bingo adverts played in the intervals due to the company sponsoring The Chase. Some fans expressed on X, formerly Twitter, how they were 'sick' of seeing the ad and posted: 'Absolutely sick to death of those #Galabingo ads before, after and during #thechase. Enough is enough please.' The Chase airs weekdays on ITV1 from 5pm and is available to stream on ITVX.
