The Chase’s Bradley Walsh questioned why a player had signed up for the ITV show after she shared details about her “jet set” lifestyle.
The presenter, 63, welcomed four new contestants; Marcus, Sarah, Lesley and Will, who hoped to leave with some cash. The players had a challenge on their hands as they faced Shaun Wallace.
Third to take on The Dark Destroyer was 62-year-old Lesley. Before Lesley tackled the cash builder round, she had a quick chat with Bradley about her life.

Lesley was previously a payroll and pensions manager but revealed she has been retired for five years. Asked how she spends her free time, she explained that she enjoys travelling the world.

“I’ve always travelled with my husband,” she explained. “But now we’ve been retired for five years so we travel even more.” Lesley went on to admit she’s been to 93 countries so far, visiting 24 of them last year. A shocked Bradley responded: “No you didn’t? In a year?”
She added: “Only five countries I hadn’t been to last year so more adventurous holidays with my husband. And then I get to cruise with my twin sister.”
Lesley revealed she’s been on 45 cruises so far in her life, leading a confused Bradley to ask: “What have you come on here for? You’ve got the jet set lifestyle.” Lesley responded: “I wish I had.”
Asked what she would do with the money if she won, Lesley said she would throw a party for her friends or hire a villa and invite her friends and family to stay. Fans were quick to share their thoughts on Lesley’s lavish lifestyle on social media, with one writing: “Lesley is obviously a multi-millionaire to be able to afford all those holidays a year. Crikey, she’s been on 45 cruises.”
A second added: “93 countries?? Blimey, another millionaire.” Another weighed in: “Are you a millionaire? 24 countries in a year?” Unfortunately for Lesley it wasn’t her day as she failed to make it through to the final chase.
Marcus and Will were the only two who made it into the final round but only answered 11 questions correctly. Shaun had plenty of time to catch them, and he did so with 43 seconds spare.
