ITV Beat The Chaser's Bradley Walsh warns Anne Hegerty's replacement after blunder

Bradley Walsh sent a warning to Anne Hegerty's replacement on tonight's episode of Beat The Chasers.

The popular spin-off show gives players the option to take on between two to five of the quiz genius'. Those who select the higher number of Chasers plays for a larger cash prize.

The Governess was forced to pull out of this season after she tested positive for coronavirus. Anne revealed in March she was going to be replaced by the Issa Schultz, who appears on The Chase Australia.

The Supernerd took his place alongside Darragh Ennis, Jenny Ryan, Mark Labbett, Paul Sinha and Shaun Wallace for the latest programme as Bradley Walsh welcomed a new batch of players.

A contestant named Jim was the third player to take on the Chasers. The player built up £3,000 in cash-builder and gambled to compete for £30,000.

JIm proceeded to put in a superb performance and successfully navigated his way past the quiz genius. Bradley asked Paul Sinha to issue his verdict on the player's performance, but The Sinnerman was interrupted when Issa accidentally leaned on his buzzer.

The Supernerd apologised for his blunder before Bradley gestured he was watching him. He joked: "Boomerang and I'll send him straight back.

"Paul, what were you saying before you were rudely interrupted." The Sinnerman went on to praise the player as viewers following the show on Twitter reponded in hysterics after the exchange.
