ITV The Chase's Bradley Walsh pleads 'no' as player 'offers fight'

Bradley Walsh was in disbelief as a player "offered him a fight" on The Chase.

The 62-year-old presenter returned to front Friday's edition of the popular ITV game show. Samar, Ayo, Kellie and Mich were testing their wits against Jenny Ryan in a bid to win a cash prize.

Samar was up in seat one and wowed the host as she revealed she is a black belt in taekwondo. The 43-year-old said: "I've been training for a few years now. I was really lucky last year to have been selected for the Welsh national team."

The civil servant from Cardiff explained she decided to start training when she used to take her children to taekwondo classes. She joked: "I got sick of driving them to and from class to be honest."

She built up £5,000 in an impressive cash builder before she took on The Vixen in a head to head. Jenny tried to stir trouble as she addressed the player's fighting skills.

She joked: "I've got a lot of respect for your taekwondo skills, but backstage I heard Brad say that he thought he could take you in a fight."

Samar suggested they put it to the test as she said: "There's only one way to find out."

Brad was shocked by the prospect as he pleaded his innocence. He shot back: "No that's not what I said."

Samar proceeded to put in a superb display to progress through to the Final Chase. The Chaser eliminated the remaining players so Samar had to face off Jenny alone in the last round. She build up 14 steps but was caught with 19 seconds remaining.
