The Chase fans spot Bradley Walsh making cheeky dig at Edinburgh contestant

An Edinburgh contestant on The Chase had viewers baffled at her choice of holiday destination for her family, should she secure the cash.

Carla, from Edinburgh, joined Watford-born Brad, Matt from Birkenhead and Jay, from Newton Aycliffe, as they took on Chaser Shaun Wallace on Wednesday night's episode (February 15).

Every contestant beat the Chaser to make it back for the final round, with £17,000 in the bank.

Edinburgh-born Carla even got a Harry Potter question in her nail-biting final step, where she was asked: "The name of which actress is a combination of the first names of the parents of Harry Potter?"

The choices were Margot Robbie, Penelope Keith and Lily James - with the final answer being the correct one. Carla was confident in her answer, and Bradley asked: "Big Harry Potter fan?", to which Carla replied: "No, but my kids are!"

Carla told the audience that she wanted to take her kids on a trip to Berlin if she secured the winning cashpot, as she said: "I haven't been abroad since I had my children! So I'd like to take them somewhere nice. They are ten and six, Brody and Murdo.

"I'd quite like to take them to Berlin, it's a really interesting city and there would be quite a lot for them to do as well! It's a vibrant, modern city!"

This prompted host Bradley Walsh to make a sarcastic dig at the choice of holiday destination.

As all four contestants prepared for the Final Chase, Bradley said: "It's time for Brody and Murdo to have the holiday of a lifetime!"

Carla laughed and rolled her eyes at his jibe - but viewers were also in agreement at Carla's choice of holiday location.

One Twitter user wrote: "#TheChase Call social services on Carla... That's child abuse taking those young children to Berlin...."

Another said: "#thechase @Carla going to Berlin. Nein! Nein! Nein!"

A third disagreed, and wrote: "Those kids will have a ball in Berlin! Great city. #thechase."

And one Twitter user had a dig back at the host, saying: "Berlin’s a great city Brad! #thechase."

The Chase returns to STV on Thursday, February 16 at 5pm.
