What should have been a simple one-question showdown suddenly turned into one of the most unforgettable moments of the episode when a contestant repeatedly mixed up her own answer—leaving Bradley Walsh stepping in again and again to get her back on track.

The Chase: Bradley Walsh forced to step in over contestant's answer blunder

THE CHASE’S Bradley Walsh was forced to correct a contestant several times when they made a huge blunder over a one question shoot-out during their head-to-head with Chaser Shaun Wallace.

The Chase: Bradley Walsh has to correct contestant twice

Bradley Walsh was on hand to guide today’s batch of contestants through The Chase for their chance of taking home a share of the jackpot prize fund. However, the ITV host was left exasperated when one contestant kept mistaking the answer she had given for a different word despite Bradley’s numerous attempts to correct her.

The Chase viewers were introduced to Michael, 52, Rebecca, 25, Chris, 34 and Asham, 48.

Michael was the first contestant to face today’s Chaser, Shaun after earning £5,000 in his cash builder round.

He failed to secure his spot in the final and the next player followed suit as Rebecca missed out on the next round too.

Luckily, the third contestant was able to add some money to the jackpot prize fund after earning £4,000 in his cash builder round.

Asham was the final contestant to take on Shaun after surprising Bradley by revealing she had time living in a Buddhist monastery.

She scored just two questions correctly in her cash builder round but impressed the ITV host with her infectious personality and clever guesswork.

Her luck eventually ran out and Asham was down to a one question shoot-out with Shaun to secure her spot in the final.

“Where does a stevedore work?” Bradley asked before reading out the options of bullring, dockside and racecourse.

Assam chose the third option but confirmed to Bradley she had opted for “racehorse”.

The ITV quiz host corrected her and Asham cheekily joked: “Either one of them.”

Explaining her decision, she said: “Absolutely no idea, I know obviously bullring some might say there’s a similar word there.”

“I thought racehorse, we’ve had a racehorse theme today, so let’s go lucky, racehorse,” she added referring to Chris’ earlier admission that he owned a horse.
