ITV The Chase player apologises as Bradley Walsh horrified by 'weird hobby'

A contestant on today's edition of The Chase apologised as she shared her "weird hobby".

Bradley Walsh returned to welcome four new quizzers on Friday's edition of the popular ITV gameshow. Stuart, Laura, Steph and Jay were taking on Paul Sinha in a bid to win a cash prize.

The team started off in superb form as Stuart and Laura both progressed to the Final Chase with a total of £13,000. Steph was next up and the 25-year-old told Bradley about what she described as her "two weird hobbies".

Steph told the host she was a big fan of Harry Potter and tropical fishkeeping. However, Bradley was visibly stunned when she detailed how she got "her most unusual fish".

She said: "I call it an Instagrammer because I can't remember the real name. We bought it to eat the babies because it had too many babies."

She added: "It's got to be done otherwise they'll be really sad because they'll be in too small a tank."

The Sinnerman later referred to the player as the "King Herod of the aquarium world" before she issued an apology. She said: "Yeah, sorry about that."

Steph put in an impressive performance to accumulate £6,000, but she was eliminated by the Chaser after a tense head-to-head.

Jay booked his place in the last round meaning three players were competing for £17,000. They built up 14 steps, but were caught by the Chaser with 42 seconds remaining so they left empty-handed.
