ITV The Chase host Bradley Walsh shocked by age of contestant

Bradley Walsh was left shocked when he learnt the age of a contestant on The Chase.

The ITV quiz host was trying to get another team past the chaser when Diana from Kent came up for her shot at the cash builder.

A charity volunteer and West Ham season ticket holder, Diana said if she were to win big on the show she would put it towards a milestone birthday next year.

Bradley asked how old she would be, she replied it was the "big 60th".

He was shocked, and said: "Really!?"

Diana said: "Yes."

Bradley, who is also 59, said: "God, you look good for 60."

She thanked the host and then went on to rack up an impressive £8,000 in the first round.

Unfortunately, Anne Hegerty was on fine form and did not put a foot wrong and Diana was caught and left with nothing.

The Governess made light work of the rest of the team as she took out first seat Stewart from Crewe, despite his £8,000 cash builder, then 47-year-old Sean from London who went for the high offer of £40,000 rejecting his initial backed money of £1,000.

That only left stay-at-home mum Jo from Coventry who also shunned her cash builder amount of £4,000 for the higher £80,000.

Jo got through with £80,000 (ITV)

Amazingly, the 27-year-old got through to the final with the life-changing sum of money.

Jo tried hard, but only scored 11, making it easy for Anne to keep hold of the money.

*The Chase is on ITV1, weekdays from 5pm
