Bradley Walsh was left lost for words on Saturday night (November 5) when a contestant on his game show, Blankety Blank, which aired on Saturday, November 5 on BBC, walked off the stage before the programme had ended.
Katie, a mum-of-two, who is from Swansea, made the final round of the iconic show, which was revived last year and sees contestants filling in the missing words of statements and phrases with the help of a celebrity panel - this week, consisting of Strictly Come Dancing star Motsi Mabuse, Saffron Barker, Sophie Duker, comedian Jimmy Carr, Blue Peter host Matt Baker and Happy Mondays' Bez - and went home with, not the top prize of a surfing weekend in Cornwall, but £750 instead.
Offering his commiserations, Bradley, 62, praised the Welsh contestant for her hard work and said: "That's the way it goes, I'm so sorry Katie. I wish you well all the way back to Swansea" before he told her how much he adored her home town.
