Viewers of The Chase were distracted by host Bradley Walsh’s weird question.
Four contestants took part in Wednesday’s edition of The Chase – hosted by long-time presenter Bradley Walsh – to try and outsmart the chaser of the day, 40-year-old Jenny Ryan, nicknamed ‘The Vixen’.
But in the studio, things took a turn for the weird when even the chaser couldn’t get her head around one strange question.

Business consultant Dan had already won £6,000 and 55-year-old Gwyneth stepped up to the podium to try and get more questions correct than The Vixen.

But everyone was then caught off guard when Bradley asked: “A Bhangmetre is used to detect what?”
Outlining the options he added: “A: Black Holes, B: Volcanic Activity or C: Nuclear Explosions,”
The marketing officer from County Antrim chose Volcanic Activity as her answer, reasoning that you wouldn’t need tools to detect explosions on such a large scale.
Bradley appeared to agree, nodding alongside her.

However, the answer was indeed a nuclear explosion – but even Bradley couldn’t help but joke at the ludicrous and seemingly pointless appliance question as he exclaiming: “You’re kidding, REALLY!?!?”
“There’s a nuclear bomb going off. I don’t know, get the bhangmetre out, under the stairs, next to the hoover. Just go and get it… too late, forget it!
Following Bradley’s visible rage, even the episode’s chaser, Jenny Ryan got the question wrong.
She opted for ‘Black Holes ‘as her answer and viewers couldn’t help but take to twitter in droves to joke about the strange question.

Although viewers of the show appeared to slam the personalities on the programme, pointing out the seemingly obvious attributes.
One user wrote: “Bhangmeter #TheChase” along with a sarcastic GIF
Whilst Steve questioned: “A bhangmeter, you say? #TheChase”
Another wrote: “Never heard of a bhangmeter so it has to be nuclear explosions… #TheChase”
Whilst a different fan wrote: “FFS #TheChase Bhangmeter??!!!!!! Do you know something we don’t? #RunForTheHills #globalthermonuclearwar”

Whilst Luke was not a fan of Bradley’s rage at the question, exclaiming: “Leave it out, Brad #TheChase.”
All four of the contestants – which included 61-year-old Ian from Somerset, 23-year-old primary school teacher Jen from Bolton and 44-year-old business consultant Dan from Surrey – made it back to the final after building their jackpot prize to £25,000 in the cash builder rounds.
However after failing to execute multiple pushbacks, they were eventually outsmarted by Jenny and walked away from the show empty handed.
