Bradley Walsh was concerned for Mark Labbett moments into his appearance on The Chase.
The Beast was in the way of four new quizzers on Thursday's show aiming to win a cash prize. Emma, Jonathan, Khalid and Megan were aiming to outrun the Chaser and take home thousands.
Emma started off the show in style and earned £7,000 in her cash-builder. The Beast responded to a jibe made by the host in his introduction about being a fan of Gregg's.

He said: "They love seeing me turn up. I'm on course for the world record of most different ones visited." However, Brad was taken aback after the Beast's comment as he appeared to be nursing a sore throat.
He said: "You don't sound very well. What's up with you?" Mark didn't respond to the question and Emma navigated her way past him to book her spot in the Final Chase.
It was a strong team on today's show as all the players progressed through to the last round and were competing for a grand total of £30,000. However, Mark was in imperious form and he caught their 18 steps with 37 seconds remaining.
