ITV The Chase Bradley Walsh taken aback as player calls out 'insulting' remark

Bradley Walsh was taken aback by a player's remark on today's edition of The Chase.

The 62-year-old presenter welcomed four new quizzers as the popular ITV programme returned from a short break due to the World Cup coverage. Ian, Joanna, Ollie and Sarah were testing their wits against Jenny Ryan on Wednesday's programme.

Ian was up in seat one and the 38-year-old computer games programmer put in an impressive cash-builder as he accrued £7,000. The Vixen offered a higher amount of £23,000 to tempt him in taking one step closer to The Chaser.

Ian sought advice from his teammates about the amount he should take. However, Ollie was unimpressed with the amount the Vixen put on the table.

He said: "I think it's a bit of an insult." Bradley was confused by the comment.

He said: "Bit of an insult? Blimey, I'd like over three times my money."

Ian took the £7,000 amount and successfully avoided The Chaser to book his spot in the final round. The higher offer was not enough to tempt Ollie during his head to-head as he attempted to £7,000 to the cash haul.

However, The Vixen eliminated Ollie after a tense head-to-head so he did not progress to the final Chase. Ian was joined by Sarah in the last round as they competed for£14,000. The team built up 17 steps, but left empty handed after they were caught with 36 seconds remaining.
