Bradley Walsh shared his disappointment as his new 'best friend' exited the ITV game show. The Chase presenter welcomed four new quizzers onto the show on Monday, January 9.
Mark Labbett took on Pete, Cleo, Laura and Colin as they tried to win a cash prize. The team were looking good as the first three players successfully made their way past the Beast and back to safety.
The Echo reports Colin was the final quizzer to have a go. The 54-year-old was keen to get back to make it a full house in the final Chase.

Colin hailed from Dufftown and worked in a whisky distillery, which impressed Bradley as he jokingly branded the player his "best friend". He added: "The man we all love to love. My best friend in the whole world. Colin is going through to the final and gonna win millions despite what we put on the table."
Bradley was eager to know more about Colin's exciting career as the quizzer explained how he now plays a key role in the whisky's maturation process. Colin built up £4,000 in an impressive cash-builder before he took on The Beast.
The two engaged in a nail-biting head-to-head, which ended in dramatic fashion as Colin accidentally pressed the wrong button. Colin exited the show after the blunder and earned sympathy from the Chaser who described the mistake as "the worst feeling in the world".
Bradley shared his disappointment that Colin did not progress to the final as he introduced the Final Chase. He added: "Sadly not a full house as Colin is gone."
The team were competing for £14,000 and put in a superb performance to build up 18 steps. The target proved to be too much for the Chaser as the Beast could only build up 17 steps before the siren rang out to end the show.
