Bradley Walsh once again proved that no quiz question is safe from his trademark humor after a seemingly innocent question about dresses turned into a string of cheeky jokes on The Chase.
The presenter had the studio audience laughing when a female contestant was asked to identify a particular style of semi-formal, knee-length dress from three possible answers.
The choices were champagne dress, cocktail dress and Campari dress.
The contestant confidently selected cocktail dress.
Bradley looked at her answer and asked: “You’ve put cocktail dress?”
“Definitely, no question,” she replied.
That was all the invitation Bradley needed.
With his trademark mischievous delivery, he fired back: “Two vodkas and it’s off?”
The joke immediately sent the contestant into fits of laughter, while the studio audience joined in.
Bradley Walsh Wasn’t Finished
Rather than moving straight on to the answer, Bradley decided to squeeze another gag out of the question.
He continued: “It’s either that or the American dress, one yank and it’s down.”
The contestant could barely contain herself, while even Chaser Jenny Ryan — better known to The Chase audience as “The Vixen” — struggled to keep a straight face.
The exchange had the feel of an old-fashioned pantomime joke, and Bradley appeared to realise he had pushed the gag far enough.
Trying to move things along, he joked: “Only old panto gags. Right, correct answer is?”
Even The Vixen Agreed
There was no controversy over the actual quiz answer.
Jenny Ryan confirmed that the contestant had chosen correctly: cocktail dress was indeed the answer.
That meant the contestant had successfully navigated the question — even if getting there involved considerably more laughter than anyone had expected.
The moment perfectly captured the style that has made Bradley Walsh such a memorable Chase host. While the programme is ultimately a serious quiz competition, Bradley’s quick-fire banter and willingness to turn an innocent question into a joke have become a familiar part of the show’s entertainment.
And on this occasion, his jokes were enough to leave practically everyone in the studio laughing.
One of Many Bradley Walsh Moments
It was certainly not the first time Bradley’s sense of humor has taken center stage on television.
Over the years, the presenter has become known for his spontaneous reactions, playful exchanges with contestants and willingness to poke fun at himself and those around him.
On The Chase, those moments often provide a welcome break from the pressure of the contestants trying to stay ahead of the Chasers.
This particular exchange was especially memorable because even “The Vixen” could not completely hide her amusement.
The question may have been about a cocktail dress, but Bradley Walsh made sure the audience got an entire comedy routine for free.
