ITV The Chase fans defend Anne Hegerty after Bradley Walsh shouts at her

The Chase's Bradley Walsh had a cheeky pop at Chaser Anne Hegerty during Tuesday's instalment of the popular quiz show.

The 61-year-old presenter once again welcomed four new players on this week's second edition of the ITV programme. Jas, Owen, Gita and Alex were testing their wits against one of Britain's biggest brains in a bid to win big money.

Alex, an English teacher from Watford, was first up to face The Governess. He had a decent cash builder, gaining a potential £6,000.

After taking the middle offer, he made it back to the table with the money he had earned. One question he answered correctly related to the works of Shakespeare.

Alex and Anne were both asked which play the following quote is from: "There's a divinity that shapes our ends, Rough-hew them how we will". After the round had finished, Bradley asked Anne what the quote means.

She said: "It means you can do quite a lot towards figuring out how your life is going to go, rather like roughly hacking out a piece of furniture. But God is gonna kind of refine it and you won't have a choice about that".

Bradley cheekily shouted: "Boring!" and Anne replied: "Well don't ask next time!". Some fans had an opinion on the interaction.

Taking to Twitter, Sally H said: "Boring! Cheeky thing". Michelle Whyte said: "Bradley only called Anne boring bc her explanation went reet over his head #TheChase" [sic]

The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
