Bradley Walsh was taken aback as Darragh Ennis shared his real job.
The 62-year-old presenter welcomed four new players on Monday's edition of the popular ITV game show. Belinda, Dan, Paul and Sabine were testing their wits against The Menace in a bid to win a cash prize.
Belinda navigated her way past The Chaser to book her spot in the final round with £6,000. She was joined by Dan, who added an extra £5,000 to the cash prize.

However, Bradley was taken aback during the tense head to head as The Menace spoke about one of his colleagues at the laboratory. The host asked: "Are you still working in your lab while you're doing this?"
Darragh responded: "Oh yeah, I'll be back in on Monday. Most of them don't watch it. They're nerds, but they're not kind of nerds. Half of them don't even watch TV."
Bradley joked: "What a fantastic thing going into work and being asked what your weekend was like. 'Oh I was working with The Beast, the Dark Destroyer and the Vixen'. I love it."
The team were joined by Paul in the final Chase as they were competing for £14,000. They built up 13 steps, but were caught with 45 seconds remaining.
