ITV The Chase viewers left confused after Bradley Walsh accepts 'wrong answer'

The Chase viewers were left scratching their heads after a contestant's "wrong answer" was accepted by show host Bradley Walsh.

The issue was over the pronunciation of Italian landmark the Leaning Tower of Pisa. In the episode, four contestants were up against chaser Shaun Wallace.

Among them was Joslyn, who works for a charity. She was the second person to take on the Cash Builder round, and her first correct answer attracted attention from viewers. She rightly thought the answer was the Leaning Tower of Pisa but pronounced it as 'pizza'. Some fans considered her response to be wrong as she had mispronounced the word.

Bradley had asked: "According to experts, what Italian bell tower is slowly straightening up?" After a moment's hesitation, Joslyn answered "pizza".

Her answer was accepted by the host. Joslyn then went on to answer two more questions correctly in the Cash Builder round, giving her £3,000 for the Head-to-Head round. A number of people took to Twitter to comment about Joslyn's answer.

Some found it amusing, reports The Mirror. One wrote alongside a laughing emoji: "Did she say pizza?" Another tweeted: "Leaning tower of pizza?" "She definitely said pizza," wrote a third person.

Others however felt it was an incorrect answer. One fan said: "Did she say 'The Tower of Pizza'? I'm sure she said Pizza, which is wrong." Another added: "Definitely." And one commented: "That's surely a point docked".

It isn't the first time the Leaning Tower of Pisa has attracted attention as an answer on the ITV show. There was a similar situation in 2018 when contestants in the Final Chase round were asked: "What famous Italian bell tower began in 1173?"

One member of the team thought it was the Leaning Tower in Pisa. He appeared to pronounce the word as 'pizza', and Bradley didn't accept the answer, saying: "No, Pisa". He later said: "Bad luck but I couldn't allow pizza, it has to be Pisa."
