Bradley Walsh was speechless on tonight's The Chase as a player explained unusual plans for winnings.
Patrick, Charlie, Gemma and Connor worked together as a team to take on the Chaser with hopes of going home richer. Each player went head to head with Jenny 'The Vixen' Ryan as they tested their wits on the ITV quiz show.
Last up to play was Connor, who fancied a chance in the final alongside Patrick and Charlie. The player, a 26-year-old quality auditor, shared his unusual plans for any winnings with Bradley Walsh - leaving the host and fans perplexed.

He said: "At the weekends I like to dress up as a rabbit and walk around the city." Bradley looked at him in stunned silence as the other contestants and studio laughed.
With a deadpan face, Bradley asked: "What are you called when you're a rabbit?" The player said: "So I'm called Chloe when I'm a rabbit."
Brad said: "And why, may I ask Connor, do you walk around Stoke-on-Trent?" Connor interrupted as he said: "No, it's around Manchester. And not on my own though. It's with a bunch of us."
The contestant went on to explain that he and his group of friends dress as all different animals and creatures - including a dragon, a shark, wolves and foxes.
The presenter said: "Here's the £64,000 question - why?" Connor replied: "Because it's fun! It's nice to be someone else for a while."
Bradley stood open mouthed as he asked: "Is this a wind up?" The player said: "No, we have a convention as well that we go to. Well a couple of years ago we did a convention and it was a week long. We managed to raise about £30,000 for an animal rehabilitation charity." Host Bradley soon changed his tune as he said: "Oh that is brilliant."
When asked what he would like to do with any winnings Connor replied: "Well the responsible answer would be to put it down on a house or buy a car... The real answer is probably to buy a new costume."
Brad asked: "Of what?" Connor said: "I'm thinking maybe a lizard this time."
Fans on Twitter, like Bradley, couldn't believe what they had heard. Lance said: "I've heard it all now!! #thechase." Steve said: "Connor likes to dress up like a rabbit? Alright, then. #TheChase."
Dean said: "Guy on #TheChase openly admitting he walks around town in a rabbit costume....in which he calls himself Chloe! And the weird part is, in 2023...it's not even that weird!!"
