ITV The Chase's Bradley Walsh halts show to challenge question

Bradley Walsh halted the show to challenge a question on The Chase.

The 62-year-old was back in the presenter role tonight for this week's final edition of the popular ITV game show. The host welcomed Lisa, Anil, Eva and Brian onto Fridays' episode.

The players were testing their wits against Darragh Ennis in a bid to win thousands. The Menace started off in strong form as he quickly eliminated Lisa after an impressive cash-builder.

Anil had better luck as the 35-year-old booked his place in the Final Chase with £1,000. Eva was next up and the student impressed as she earned £3,000 in her cash-builder.

She took the lower offer of £1,000 as she aimed to join her teammate in the last round. However, Bradley was puzzled by a question in the head-to-head and was stopped in his tracks as he said: "Which English city has a recently gentrified area called The Northern Quarter."

The correct answer was Manchester but Bradley was confused as he spoke about his experience living in the northern city when he filmed Coronation Street. He said: "I don't get the question. Back in the day when I was there in 2004 they were doing that anyway so it's not very recent I have to say."

Eva bounced back from the incorrect response and booked her spot in the Final Chase. Darragh eliminated Brian so the two players were competing for £2,000.

They built up 14 steps but they were caught with 31 seconds remaining.
