ITV The Chase's Bradley Walsh criticised by viewers after he 'mocks' Welsh language

Viewers watching ITV's The Chase have been left cringing after host Bradley Walsh attempted to speak Welsh, after a contestant told him she spends much of her free time learning the language. Beka, who hails from Nottinghamshire, studied at Bangor University and recently began learning Welsh after deciding she wanted to move back to north Wales and buy a house there.

After welcoming Beka to the stage to answer the first round of general knowledge questions before facing Anne Hegerty - aka The Governess - in a bid to beat her and stay in the game, Bradley asked the HR assistant what she did to relax.

Beka said: "I've just started learning Welsh, actually. On Skype," to which Bradley erupted with a "Bore da!" Laughing, Beka replied: "Bore da!" before the show's host asked her how she was finding her new hobby. "It's alright. I can't have a conversation yet, but I can read and write in Welsh!" Beka replied. You can watch a clip from the episode at the top of this article - and for more TV news, go to this page of our website.
