Bradley Walsh defends himself as Mark Labbett explains why he's wrong

Mark Labbett clapped back at Bradley Walsh on tonight's Chase as he ribbed the host about his general knowledge.

Viewers familiar with The Chase will be aware of Bradley's insults as he introduces the Chasers.

But tonight, Mark had a few of his own for Bradley.

David, Ella, Tom and Jen all faced The Beast on tonight's show.

David from Bedfordshire started things well, earning an impressive £9,000 for the team.

French student Ella wasn't so lucky as Mark eliminated her from the show along with the £5,000 she made in the cash builder.

It was then time for Tom from Stockton-on-Tees to see if he could do any better.

The engineer showed his skills in the cash builder, adding £6,000 to the prize pot.

But Bradley and The Beast became slightly distracted in the head to head during one particular question.

Bradley asked: "Scotland's Forth Bridge is painted what colour?"

The options were red, white or blue.

Bradley thought the answer was blue, saying: "Blue for Scotland surely?"

But the answer was in fact red.

Mark explained: "If you think about it, it can't really be blue because they want it to stand out and blue would blend into the sea."

Bradley said: "I know I'm joking."

But Mark responded: "I never know with you. That's the problem. You've raised buffoonery to such a fine art."

Bradley burst into laughter, adding: "You've got a point."
