Bradley Walsh scolded by Chase contestant for Anne Hegerty jibe

Bradley Walsh received a telling-off from a contestant on The Chase today after making a remark about Anne Hegerty.

Steve, Mai, Liz and Dimitri were all on today's show hoping to win thousands to splurge on their dream car or holiday of a lifetime.

Aiming for a strong start, Mai was the first contestant to face the cash builder.

She performed well, securing £4000.

But if she wanted to bring it home to the team, she'd have to defeat The Chaser.

Explaining who Mai could be facing, host Bradley Walsh described each one of the Chasers.

However, Bradley was scolded by Mai for his jibe about Anne Hegerty.

Bradley said: "Who team are we taking on today?

"Will it be The Menace? His scientific research is like Mark Labbett on a pogo stick - ground-breaking."

"Could it be The Sinnerman? So annoying, if he talks to the plants they get up and walk out.

"Maybe, though, it's The Governess? As fierce as an Amazon warrior, built like an Amazon warehouse."

Mai interrupted Bradley and said: "You can't say that!"

In a previous show, Bradley revealed he does not write the jokes about The Chasers.
