Emmerdale star hilariously falls to the floor in disbelief during appearance on The Chase

There was an hilarious moment in a special Emmerdale edition of The Chase which aired on ITV this weekend.

Stars Charley Webb, Matthew Wolfenden, Mark Charnock and Amy Walsh took on Paul Sinha, AKA The Sinnerman, to raise money for charity.

Our colleagues at the Liverpool Echo report, Mark, who plays Marlon Dingle in the ITV soap, fell to the floor in disbelief while taking on the Chaser.

Mark, 52, earned £3,000 in the first round but had to beat The Sinnerman to get it added to the total prize pot.

During one question in the head-to-head, Mark was asked by host Bradley Walsh: "A blue whale's tongue weighs roughly the same as what?"

The options were A) Seal B) Giraffe or C) Elephant.

The Emmerdale actor opted for 'Elephant' causing Bradley Walsh to grimace.

Bradley said: "You haven't put elephant have you? Oh god you have."

The host thought the answer was seal, stating a whale's tongue could surely not be so big.

But when the correct answer elephant was revealed, Mark fell to the floor in shock.

Paul, who also answered correctly, said: "The blue whale is the biggest mammal on earth."

Unfortunately, the Emmerdale team did not win the final round during this repeat of The Chase.
