The Chase viewers love Anne Hegerty's shut down of Bradley Walsh as she gets flirty

Anne Hegerty amused fans of The Chase on Thursday as she hilariously shot down Bradley Walsh while flirting with a contestant.

Marketing director David from Cambridge was welcomed to the stage by Bradley as he tried to win a cash prize.

The player told the host he wanted to win the jackpot to pay for a trip to the west coast of America with his daughters and to buy in some vinyl records.

He went on to bag a cool £5,000 in the cash builder round before being asked the which Chaser he wanted to face.

The marketing director revealed he "fancied Anne," but only meant he would like to face her in the challenge.

However, Bradley, 61, wasn't going to pass up the opportunity of a joke and pretended to be in the school yard spreading rumours.

The host sang: "You fancy Anne, time to bring on the Chaser."

When the Chaser, also known as The Governess, arrived on set she told host Bradley to "shut up" as he tried to tease her and contestant David over his comments.

Anne pleasantly welcomed David, much to Bradley's amusement once again.

He mimicked Anne and said: "Oh David," leaving the quiz genius blushing.

It didn't stop her from firing back though as she joked: "I was going to say that I myself have tried online advertising but everyone kept swiping left."

She then added: "I bet you wouldn't though," to leave David looking red-faced.

Viewers of the show lapped up the interaction and took to social media to share their amusement.

One wrote on Twitter : "I love Anne when she gets her flirty with the contestants. #TheChase"

Another commented: "Oh Anne telling Bradley to shut up. She's feisty isn't she?!" while a third wrote: "I love when Anne puts Bradley in his place. #TheChase"

David, along with two other contestants made it back for the final Chase as they tried to grab a total of £12,000.

With an impressive run of form and executing three out of five pushbacks, the trio split the jackpot as Anne failed to catch them by one question.
