ITV The Chase's Bradley Walsh fires back at Shaun Wallace after brutal insult

Bradley Walsh couldn't believe he was the butt of one of Shaun Wallace's famous insults on The Chase.

Tony, Thomas, Chris and Mary were all on the show hoping to win a big cash prize.

Tony was the first contestant to face The Dark Destroyer after securing £6000 in the cash builder.

But before they started the second round, Shaun pointed out a pattern with the contestants' names.

Shaun revealed the names of Mary, Chris and Thomas were a close relation to 'Merry Christmas'.

But host Bradley admitted that he hadn't spotted the correlation.

Bradley joked about how he didn't spot the similarity between the phrase and names.

He said: "I'm like a goldfish."

But Shaun replied: "No you're not, a goldfish is intelligent."

An offended Bradley added: "Shocking behaviour."

Viewers at home were also surprised by the cutting remark, although many found it funny.

Tyroil said: "Damn. Shaun didn't get what he wanted for Christmas to let Brad have it like that."

A second tweeted: "Shaun, you're on a thin line... a very, very, thin line...."

And a third tweeted: "Oh wow. Shaun."
