On Saturday’s visit to The Chase studio, Bradley Walsh welcomed a slew of four new contestants onto the show – but this time there was a celebrity twist.

But the show quickly turned to chaos when the soap star struggled to correctly answer one question in the high-pressure lightening round.
It was at this point that the TV star confessed he “didn’t know why he left” Emmerdale after eight years playing the role of Adam Barton.
Bradders gushed: “It’s a pleasure having you. Now you [were on] Emmerdale for eight, nine, 10 years?”

Adam confessed: “[I was on there for] Eight, nine years – the best years of my life. I don’t know why I left!
“It was amazing. Great people, great show. [It was] Amazing, unbelievable.”
Since he left the show, the TV star revealed that he has since gone on to open a scrumptious restaurant in the heart of Stockport, Manchester.

However, the actor admitted on the show that he doesn’t know the first thing about running an eatery.
Adam confessed to the gameshow host that he has “no idea what he’s doing” working in the restaurant business but explained that he’s “having a blast anyway.”
