ITV The Chase contestant from Wales makes hilarious blunder on question about soup

A contestant on The Chase from Wales came up with a very interesting answer when he was asked for the contents of a popular British soup. Josh from Tonypandy managed to accumulate £6,000, an amount he went for despite being tempted to go for the higher offer of £32,000 or go for the lesser offer of £1,000 by chaser Paul Sinha.

He was caught and eliminated, but it was an answer to one of the questions in his cash builder which proved the memorable moment of his appearance on the ITV quiz show. His hilarious answer prompted a typically sarcastic response from long time host Bradley Walsh.

Josh was one of two Welsh contestants on Wednesday's show. Despite his memorable response, Josh wasn't quite able to make it to the final chase.

"What animal's tail is used to make a traditional British soup?" Bradley asked. "Cats," Josh answered, before laughing in embarrassment when he was told the answer was Ox.

"I'm not sure people would appreciate cat's tail soup," Bradley later added. Josh was not the only Welsh contestant on the show this evening.

He was joined by Rosie from Penarth, a retired doctor. She had more luck than Josh, becoming only one of two contestants to reach the final chase, adding £8,000 to the total £15,000 prize fund.

Rosie and fellow contestant Damien managed to reach 17 steps in the final round, but the chaser caught them with 30 seconds remaining. Bradley told Rosie at the end of the show: "Love to everyone in Penarth, it's a fine place, it really is."

Mr Sinha said: "They were really good, you played a really good final chase. I think 17 was an underscore for how good you were. I just think you went a bit too slow and steady, but pulled out some great answers as a result."
