ITV The Chase contestant has Bradley Walsh in tears with funny admission

A player on The Chase made a funny admission on tonight's show which caused Bradley Walsh to erupt in laughter.

The ITV quiz show host welcomed on four new players looking to test their wits against a chaser. Christopher, Olivia, Louise and Lee all took on brainbox Shaun Wallace in a bid to win a cash prize.

Olivia, a 25-year-old midwife, was the one who caused Bradley to cry with laughter. She made a funny admission after telling the presenter that she hoped to spend any winnings on travelling to South America.

The player answered a respectable five questions in the cash builder round. She went on to accept a middle offer of £5,000 from the chaser.

After a poetry question she said she had no clue what the answer would be. She admitted the real reason for her being on the show.

She said: "I'm only here because my friends told me to come." Brad looked at her in disbelief before he erupted in laughter and wiped a tear away.

Fans on Twitter thought that the odd admission was hilarious too. Michael said: "Maybe Olivia thought she was going to the Bingo? #TheChase." Dave said: "Here as my mates told me to come on here #TheChase #TopMates."

Another user said: "Olivia must be the cleverest of her circle of friends,.. #TheChase." Meanwhile, Simo said: "I'm here because my friend told me to come. Hope she flukes it through.#thechase."

Unfortunately, Olivia was caught by the chaser and was sent home with nothing. She still managed to leave the stage with a smile on her face as Bradley laughed once more about her comical quip.
