ITV The Chase Bradley Walsh shunned by contestant after he congratulates her win

The Chase's Bradley Walsh was left stunned after a contestant, who he had just congratulated , shunned him.

As the first of the four contestants, she had a tough cash-builder round, but managed to secure £6000.

Despite wanting to play Mark Labbett, The Chaser was revealed to be Shaun Wallace - who throughout the episode didn't get a single question wrong.

Choosing to take the middle offer, Gaynor answered most questions correctly during the head-to-head but slipped up towards the end of the round.

Finding herself in a one-question shootout, Gaynor had to get a question about entertainment correct, if she wanted to make it through to the final chase.

Luckily, she answered correctly, meaning she had a chance at winning the prize fund.

As Bradley went to congratulate her with a handshake, Gaynor walked away - leaving The Chase host stunned.

The 40-year-old had returned to her seat, despite not receiving instructions to do so.

Bradley joked: "One player through and may I add very quickly - was it something I said?"

Viewers found the awkward moment hilarious, with many taking to Twitter.

Chloe said: "She ain't waiting about!"

Georgia said: "Gaynor WTF", followed by two cry-laughter emojis.

And Roz Wood wrote: "Hysterical giggling now."
