ITV The Chase's Bradley Walsh slammed for giving player 'rubbish advice'

The Chase's Bradley Walsh has been criticised after offering advice to a contestant during Thursday's episode.

The 61-year-old presenter once again welcomed four new players on this week's fourth edition of the popular ITV programme. Lisa, Amber, David and Jamie were testing their wits against one of Britain's biggest brains in a bid to win big money.

Lisa was first up to face The Governess. She had a decent cash builder, but was caught before making it back with the money.

In a similar fate, Amber was caught after initially answering six questions correctly. David gained a potential £5,000 during his cash builder, but after taking the higher offer he failed to make it back to the team.

With just Jamie, a police officer, left to play, Bradley Walsh found himself at the players' table. After Jamie answered six questions right, he was offered a low offer of £600, and a high offer of £60,000.

Bradley advised him to take the middle offer, But as Jamie breezed through the questions and made it back to the table with ease, fans took to Twitter to slam Bradley's comments.

Simo said: "Rubbish advice Brad if he doesn't get through this round unlikely that he will out score in the final. #thechase". Mairead said: "Bradley Walsh absolutely wrong to advise Jamie NOT to go for the £60,000 as the last player when he smashed it. Grr".

Other viewers blamed Jamie for not choosing the higher offer after suggesting David should. Andrew Jazzie said: "Gets the previous guy to go high (and out) and then doesn't himself", while Becka said: "How can you be the only person through and not go high?! Literally nothing to lose".

Sadly for Jamie, he was caught by Anne Hegerty in the final Chase and left the studio empty-handed.

The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
