BRADLEY WALSH PUNCHED THE CHASE SCREEN — THEN THE SOUND THAT CAME FROM THE PANEL MADE HIM REALISE HE’D JUST DONE SOMETHING VERY EXPENSIVE ON CAMERA.

BRADLEY Walsh broke The Chase set when filming the game show, and the blunder will be shown in the programme’s spin-off show this weekend.

The 58 year old – who has presented the show for almost ten years – was so hyped-up in an episode of the quiz he punched the panel, which lists the money on offer for the contestant, and accidentally cracked the board.

Bradley’s mishap is captured in a teaser clip of The Chase: Bloopers, which will air on December 23.

Just before the contestant and chaser Mark Labbett’s answers were revealed, he slammed the panel with his fist.

On hearing the crack he poked the dent, before he hilariously sprawled out across the screen to conceal the damage from the audience and bosses.

But the Doctor Who actor couldn’t conceal the smashed panel for long as guilt took over.

The star swiftly apologised.  The red-faced funnyman said: “I’ve cracked it. I’m so sorry.

“I cant believe that’s happened.”

Bradley jokingly asks if the show’s team have a “spare” board.

He quipped: “Have we got a spare?”

The audience found the moment hilarious, and can be heard chuckling at Bradley’s expense.

The contestant, as well as The Chaser, also find the moment highly entertaining.

Bradley jokingly asks the contestant to bail him out and lend him some of his winnings to help fix the prop.

He said: “You know when you get your £35,000 can you lend me a couple of quid.”

In the upcoming special Anne Hegerty – who took part in this year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! – provides the comedy factor as she makes a crude joke on the show.
