The Chase's Bradley Walsh shocked by Leeds nurse's reason for appearing on ITV quiz show

The Chase host Bradley Walsh was shocked at what a former Leeds nurse wanted to spend her winnings on when she appeared on the ITV quiz show.

Brainbox Suzanne brought £6,000 to the team jackpot when she appeared on the Tuesday, June 16 edition. She left host Bradley looking a little sheepish when he asked what she’d spend any winnings on - should her team overcome the Chaser.

"If you were to win some money today, what would you do with it?" asked Bradley.

"Oh, I'd definitely want a gastric band," replied Suzanne.

"Why can't you have a normal big band like everybody else?" asked Bradley.

“I want to get thin, I'm sick of being fat, and since I retired I've put loads of weight on,” responded the contestant.

"I don't think you need a gastric band," said Bradley.

"That's what my husband says." joked Suzanne.

Suzanne explained she’d need to raise £5,000 to pay for the band. A lot of fans of the show enjoyed the former nurse’s honesty.

One viewer tweeted: "#TheChase ‘what will u do with the money? Get a gastric band.’ woman after my own heart.”

Another posted: “#TheChase ‘What will you spend your theoretical winnings on? - A gastric band’, Brad ‘Brilliant’.”

Unfortunately, Suzanne and her team came up short against chaser Shaun Wallace. After losing in the final round, Suzanne, said: “I’ll have to stay fat.”

Bradley “You’re beautiful, Suzanne.”

This was met by a warm response from the contestant.
