It was all part of a new spin off show called The Chase: The Bloopers and included snippets and unseen footage.

One moment included Bradley trying to keep it together when faced with the question: "The breakfast food known in Scotland as 'tattie scones' go by what name in Ireland?" "A. Fadge, B. Menge, or C. Clonge."
