HE TOOK THE SAFE £2,000 FOR HIMSELF — THEN, MINUTES LATER, TOLD HIS TEAMMATE TO RISK EVERYTHING FOR £70,000. BRADLEY WALSH COULDN’T LET THE HYPOCRISY SLIDE.

BRADLEY Walsh has hit out at a contestant on The Chase and branded them as “ridiculous” after a stark comment on the programme.

The TV presenter was left gobsmacked at one of the contestant’s suggestions on the latest episode of the ITV quiz show and scalded him in a very awkward moment.

As the ITV show got underway, Bradley welcomed Jason, Kim, Nicky and Chetan to the quizzing arena.

Jenny Ryan, also known as The Vixen, was facing off against the players and hoping to stop them from bagging any dosh.

Jason was the first player to take to the contestant floor and ultimately built up an impressive cash builder round of £6,000.

However, clearly feeling rattled in the presence of Jenny, he decided to head back to the table with the lower offer of just £2,000.

Next up was Kim who managed to bag a whopping £8,000 after a hugely knowledgeable round.

It led Jenny to offer her the option to play for £3,000, £8,000 or £70,000 and it did not take long before Jason had some advice for his fellow player.

Offering up a very surprising quip: “Rather cheeky from me, Kim, but I really think you can bring the £70,000 back. That was an amazing cashbuilder.”

Aghast, Bradley was left raging at Jason for his suggestion particularly given that he took the lower offer.

The host once again took a further dig at him as Kim mulled over her different options.

He said to Kim: “Take no notice of Jason, what do you think?”

Surprisingly, Kim opted to listen to Jason’s words of encouragement and went for the big offer of £70,000.

Gaining a round of applause, Brad congratulated the star but could not help but have a further dig at Jason as he said: “You’ve got to! That’s the way you go, isn’t it Jason?”

She proved she had made the right decision as she walked back with all the cash in hand.

Whilst best known for The Chase, Bradley’s fans will be sad to learn that he had been replaced as the host of this year’s Royal Variety Performance.

He has been given the boot in favour of TV duo Amanda Holden and Alan Carr.

ITV snapped up the pair after they began to find success with rival broadcaster – the BBC.
