ITV’s The Chase turned frosty on Monday (July 17) after host Bradley Walsh made a cheeky dig at chaser Shaun Wallace.
Four new players took their chances against the quizmaster in a bid to bag a cash prize on the latest episode.
As Shaun took on the wannabe winners, he appeared to be having a bad day as he offered up some poor answers and allowed the contestants to soar through to the final chase with ease.
