Beat The Chasers' Mark Labbett takes swipe at contestant - but he gets last laugh

One contestant on Beat The Chasers got the last laugh after both Mark Labbett and Bradley Walsh took aim at him.

Mark, otherwise known as The Beast, couldn't resist teasing pastor Duncan's colourful outfit choice during his bid to earn some money and beat the quiz whizz.

Even Bradley joined in on the jokes, saying the contestant was on the wrong show after making an unusual request when deciding which chaser to go head-to-head with during the final round.

Before Duncan even had a chance to tell Bradley what he wanted to do with the money, Mark was shown quipping: "Is he wearing pyjamas?"

Duncan was actually wearing a purple, pink and blue coloured hoodie, with dark grey trousers and brown shoes, writes the Mirror.

The contestant pulled off an impressive performance in the question round, before having to decide how many Chasers he wanted to play against, and for how much money.

He found this tricky though, and asked host Bradley if he could have some assistance from the audience - which is actually an option on another ITV quiz show, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?.

Bradley mocked this, by replying: "Wrong show, but you can if you want..."

Duncan asked those in the crowd what they thought he should do, and they began shouting over each other before turning to his parents for advice, as they were in the crowd along with his brother and sister-in-law.

After toying between the £25k and the £50k, Duncan decided to go for the lower amount, which would see him face four Chasers with 60 seconds on his clock, and 40 seconds on their clock.

Duncan was up against Darragh Ennis, Shaun Wallace, Jenny Ryan and guest Chaser Issa Schultz, aka The Supernerd, who is standing in for usual Chaser Anne Hegerty.

The contestant stormed to victory too, with 26 seconds still remaining on the clock, while the Chasers ran out of time and failed to stop him.

Duncan was thrilled as he won the £25,000 and was congratulated by Bradley, while Issa told him he "really deserved to win".

Bradley said: "Great work," before adding: "Guess what Duncan you have beaten the Chasers, congratulations."

Beat The Chasers airs all at 9pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
