The Chase fans in stitches over Bradley Walsh's comments

The Chase fans were in fits of laughter after a remark from Bradley Walsh during Thursday's episode.

As ever, the 62-year-old welcomed four contestants to the studio. Lloyd from Hertfordshire, Cate from Middlesbrough, Alison from Beccles, and Hashim from Stockport arrived to take on one of Britain's biggest brains in the hopes of winning some cash.

Thursday's instalment of the popular ITV quiz show saw the team take on Shaun Wallace, aka the Dark Destroyer.

Lloyd was up first, successfully making it back to the team with £4,000 in the bank. Next up was Cate, who sadly wasn't as lucky.

She was sent home after being caught by the Chaser, leaving the studio empty-handed. It was a question given to Alison that left viewers at home in stitches, though.

Bradley asked her which doctor was offered $50,000 for a pair of surgical gloves in 1967. Shaun explained Dr Chris Barnard performed the world's first ever heart transplant in Capetown in 1967, and they were his gloves.

As he often does, Bradley saw the moment as an opportunity to create some laughter. He interjected with: "He later developed to transplant pigs' hearts and stuff like that. And a pig's ear onto a human ear.

"It worked great, the only problem was they said to the bloke 'can you hear?' and he said 'just a bit of crackling'."

Fans were clearly loving his joke. Taking to Twitter, Sarah said: "That was one of Bradley's best, I spat my brew". Darren said: "I actually laughed out loud. That was really funny. Bit of crackling!" Ryan simply said: "That pig joke", with a gif of a man laughing.

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