The Chase presenter Bradley Walsh was shocked this week, when a contestant revealed she had retired from her teaching career.
His surprise came as he believed she was "very young" to be in retirement, after she confirmed her age at the start of the show.
Bernadette revealed she was 46 years of age, before telling Bradley she was a retired teacher.
Bradley wasted no time in asking the quizzer about it, with her soon responding too - before she faced the Chaser on the ITV series.
He told the hopeful: "You're very young to retire," as he learned how old she was.
Bernadette smiled at the comment, before telling him: "Some people are just lucky that way."
Some viewers were also surprised to hear she had retired, taking to Twitter with their thoughts.
One asked: "Retired teacher at 46?"
Another said: "46 & retired what easy life for teachers."
A third joked that it was "no wonder" she retired as she passed a series of questions.
Also this week, Chaser Anne Hegerty objected to Bradley's assertion that she'd broken one of The Chase's rules as he was left chuckling over a silly set of potential answers.
Anne ended up placing her answer before he finished reading them out, leading to him telling her: "You're not supposed to do that."
"Well you obviously weren't going to," Anne laughed, referring to him reading out the answers.
"I was!" Bradley said, "but you're not allowed to press."
The Chase airs weeknights at 5pm on ITV.
