The Chase ’s Anne Hegerty made a joke at Bradley Walsh’s expense on today’s show – only for a contestant to hit back.
Irishman Adrian appeared on the show, hoping to take back some winnings when he flew home to his native Donegal.
Chatting to Bradley ahead of his cash builder round, the Northern Irish teacher revealed his favourite pastime was to go golfing with his son.
Earning a solid £4,000 in the first round, he turned to Chaser Anne in the hopes of making it to the final.
As soon as he appeared, Anne took the opportunity to make a joke about Adrian’s golfing hobby, referring to the “handicap” system in the sport.

Jokingly making a reference to poor Brad, she swiped: “Hello Adrian. If you want to know what my handicap is, you’re standing next to him.”
Bradley took the joke in good spirits, saying: “I don’t get it.”
However, Adrian was quick to shun the quip, as he scolded: “That’s not very nice.”

Adrian decided to accept the middle offer of £4,000, admitting the number had a special significance for him.
He said: “Four is a golfing number anyway.”
The decision proved a lucky one, as Adrian managed to make it to the final, making the kitty a whopping £11,000 as the two remaining contestants stepped up to the podium.
Fearing a loss, Anne declared: “I can’t seem to catch any of them.”

Player number three, linguistics student Scarlett, failed to bring home the bacon and was booted out by the Governess in the second round.
Finally, contestant number four – Jo – earned a whopping £6,000 in the cash builder, taking it home to the team after trumping the Chaser.
With £17,000 in the prize pot, it was all to play for as the three remaining players took on Anne, in the hopes of a big win.
The Chase airs on weekdays at 5pm on ITV.
