Speaking to Bradley, Bernadette revealed her plans to visit Provence and create her own perfume.

She said any prize winnings would go to creating her own signature scent.

Asking what she did for a living, Bernadette responded saying she was once a school teacher, but she had now retired.

However, Bradley had picked up on Bernadette's introduction to The Chase, where she revealed that she was 46-years-old.

Bradley said: "You're very young to retire?"

To which Bernadette said: "Some people are just lucky that way."

It seemed like Bernadette had been spending part of her retirement brushing up on her quiz knowledge.

After securing £3,000 in the cash-builder, Bernadette smashed the head-to-head, landing a place in the final.

Bernadette and her fellow contestants managed to score 19 steps, just enough to beat Jenny Ryan.
