The Chase host Bradley Walsh left red-faced after mercilessly teasing player

The Chase host Bradley Walsh was left looking sheepish on Wednesday's show when he mocked one of the answer options - which then turned out to be the correct one.

Player Melanie was facing Chaser Paul 'The Sinnerman' Sinha, and she was asked: "Aled Jones forgot the words to what song while singing at the Royal Variety Performance?"

The options for the answer in the multiple choice question were: A) Walking in the Air, B) Land of My Fathers, or C) Memory.

Bradley giggled as he read out the third and final option, as he was completely convinced it was wrong.

Aled famously sings Walking in the Air, so it's likely Bradley thought that was easily the right answer, but Melanie selected C, Memory.

Bradley looked horrified as he saw what Melanie had picked, and shook his head and said: "Melanie, it's not going to be that."

But Melanie pointed out Aled was less likely to forget the words to a song he is famous for and has sung for years.

And it transpired Melanie was correct - Aled forgot the words to Memory, from the musical Cats.

Paul also answered correctly as an embarrassed Bradley said: "Memory! I didn't remember that fact."

Paul replied: "The obvious answer would be Walking in the Air because that's the song he is most famous for, but I just thought, why ask the question?"

"Great, I love it!" said Bradley, before erupting into a chorus of Memory later on in the show.

Melanie made it to the final chase alongside teammate Jenny, after players Will and Andy were both caught by Paul, and both £5,000.
