Bradley Walsh left bamboozled after The Chase team bag one of 'highest final' scores ever

The Chase's Bradley Walsh was left completely dumbfounded on last night's instalment of the hit ITV quizzer - with the competing team compiling a massive number in the Final Chase.

Each member of the team - comprising of Marion, Natalie, Tony and David - made their way through to the final round of the show, left faced with the task of racking up a huge score to best Chaser, Anne Hegerty.

After all, £47,000 was on stake split between the competing quadruple - which amounts to each party taking home in the region of £11,750 each.

The Mirror reports that following Marion's successful individual Chase, The Governess was asked how she thought it would all end for the four teammates as they attempted to outsmart the Chaser and take home the prize fund.

Asked how she thought the Final Chase would go, Anne said she thought they'd be fairly speedy at first, before the 'wheels came off' towards the end - despite the group having answered 21 questions correctly between them in the previous rounds.

With four of them in the final, it meant they had got a head start by four places, something which they used to their advantage. Questions from their Final Chase included things like what is used to hit a shuttlecock in badminton, what apple tree flowers were also known as, what word can mean a garden hut or to cry tears and what mode of transport is a felucca.

In the end, the group managed an impressive 23 in the Final Chase, and host Bradley Walsh gave his verdict, insisting that there's no time for the Chaser to think with a score like that and thus they needed a couple of push backs and they could do it.

"Regular viewers will know, that's very high," Bradley said, "This is going to be proper close, it's time for the Final Chase."

Anne was then given her chance to 'chase' them towards their impressive score of 23. When the time ran out, Anne was at the 18 mark and failed to reach anywhere near the 23, as the team celebrated their incredible win.

"Congratulations, take the £47,000, split it equally and go into the sunset, you've not been caught. Guess what, you've outrun the Chaser. Great performance," Bradley said, before Anne admitted she wasted too much time thinking about the questions.

Bradley concluded: "A proper score, a real target. 23 that's the target. If you can come on, you can hit 23, you're good enough."
