He said: "I am Henry VIII. I'm a professional Henry VIII lookalike and I go and do visits to schools, castles, museums, bit of telly and a bit of film. Whatever really."
Bradley was stunned by the news and admitted it "must be a full-time job" which Michael confirmed. Viewers were also taken back by the lookalike role as they suggested the show was a celebrity special. One viewer jokingly said: "All right mate, this isn’t Celebrity Chase."
"Henry" played a phenomenal speed round as he took back a whopping £10,000 to his team which viewers commended. Another comment added: "Henry the 8th knows his [stuff] lads."
Michael and the rest of his team flew through to the final where they took home a share of £25,000.
