Bradley Walsh 'disqualifies' ITV The Chase contestant for breaking ITV rules

Bradley Walsh informed one contestant on The Chase that he was disqualified from the show after breaking ITV rules.

Philosophy student Benjamin exceeded everyone's expectations when he managed to secure £8,000 in his cash-builder.

As the final contestant to face The Chaser, the pressure was on for Benjamin after his fellow teammates all made it through the head-to-head.

And despite going up against Paul Sinha , Benjamin wiped the floor with The Chaser, securing the money and bringing the team's total to £25,000.

Excited with his performance and the prospect of winning a large amount of money, Benjamin ran back to his team.

Luckily Bradley only meant it as a joke (ITV)

However, Bradley then informed the University of Sussex graduate that this was against ITV rules.

He said: "And he runs back, he ran, he actually ran.

"That contravenes all health and safety regulations here at ITV. I'm sorry the team is now down to three."

But luckily for Benjamin, Bradley joked it off, saying: "The entire team are through to the final chase, with a prize fund of £25,000".

And thanks to some expert knowledge off Ben, the team won the jackpot in the final chase.
