ITV The Chase player's 'landmark' performance raises Bradley Walsh's 'suspicions'

Bradley Walsh jokingly questioned if a player had cheated after a superb performance on The Chase.

The 62-year-old host welcomed four new quizzers on today's edition of the ITV game show. Pete, Amy, Tom and Jayne were taking on Anne Hegerty in a bid to win a cash prize.

Pete was up in seat one and the chartered financial planner wowed fans with an unbelievable cash-builder. Bradley was wowed as the 52-year-old answered every question correctly to accumulate £10,000.

The performance was so good it made the host suspicious as he joked: "Have you been cheating? £10,000. Clean sweep in the cashbuilder. Who are we taking on today? I don't think it matters?"

The Governess was similarly impressed as she said: "That was an admirable cash-builder. I really hope the rest of the team aren't that strong because I'll have a game on my hands."

Pete continued his superb performance into the head-to-head as he smoothly navigated past The Chaser to book his place in the last round. Viewers on Twitter were wowed by the showing as one fan said it was the best they've ever seen.

Andrew said: "Blimey, think a £10,000 cash builder highest I’ve ever seen"

Kim added: "10k cash builder"

Steve posted: "Man’s got £10K. Not often someone gets £10K. This should be good."

Josh added: "What a cash builder that was"

Gaz commented: "Immense!!"

Anne fought back and eliminated Amy and Tom before Jayne progressed to the final after taking the lower offer of -£2,000. They built up 15 steps in their bid to take home a cash haul of £8,000.

The team left empty handed as the Governess caught the team with 16 seconds remaining.
