The episode took a shocking turn when three of the four contestants were eliminated leaving Nikki to face chase Sean Wallace – aka The Dark Destroyer – alone.
She managed to answer 11 questions correctly with £6k in the prize pot but was caught out by Sean with 29 seconds remaining.
Bradley and Sean both applauded Nikki for taking on the final chase alone, after she appeared nervous in the earlier rounds.
Bradley then reassured her that the loss of prize money was a sign she didn’t need plastic surgery after all.
He said: “Maybe this is mother nature’s way of telling you you don’t need any of that stuff.”
Sean also echoed the same sentiment, saying; “You don’t need a nip and tuck you’re gorgeous as you are.”
The Chase airs weekdays on ITV from 5pm.
