Bradley Walsh stops The Chase mid-round after 'shocking' discovery about its contestants

Ever since he began hosting ITV show The Chase, Bradley Walsh has been entertaining the nation with his hilarious quips and one-liners.

And yesterday's show was no exception, as the host halted the quiz show on air after he made a 'mind blowing' discovery.

Ginger, Roger, Fred and Alistair were on the show this week, facing Jenny 'The Vixen' Ryan.

Up first was Alistair, who started strong and managed to secure an impressive £7000 in the cash-builder.

But in order to bring the money home to his team, he would have to defeat Jenny in the head-to-head.

However, host Bradley became rather distracted as he turned to the other contestants to ask for their advice, reports the ECHO.

Interrupting the show, Bradley said: "Hold on, hang on everyone."

Jenny said: "He's finally got it."

Bradley continued: "Hold the line caller, I've got it, Ginger, Roger, Fred and 'Astaire'. I've got it.

"Wow that's great, excellent."

Viewers took to Twitter, amazed at how long it took Brad to realise the connection to famous movie dancers Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire.

Katherine said: "Well done, Brad!"

Imogen tweeted: "Well done brad, you’re awake."

Luke said: "Bit slow Bradley?"

And Kat tweeted: "Bradley’s reaction to figuring out the name theme on his own tonight is priceless."
