ITV The Chase viewers switch off as Bradley Walsh aims swipe at Shaun Wallace

Bradley Walsh aimed a swipe at Shaun Wallace as he joked about his performance on today's episode of The Chase.

The presenter welcomed four new players on Friday's edition of the popular game show. Sheila, Neal, Bev and Amjid were taking on The Dark Destroyer in a bid to win a cash prize.

Sheila was up first and the 70-year-old built up £1,000 in his cashbuilder. the retired court usher and The Chaser both got the second question of the head-to-head incorrect, which prompted Bradley to joke they could be here all day.

Shaun proceeded to eliminate Sheila from today's before Neal progressed to the Final Chase with £3,000. The Chaser hit back in his head-to-head with Bev as he caught the 44-year-old photographer.

Both the Chaser and the player got a number of questions incorrect in the round, which prompted Bradley to aim a jibe at Shaun's performance. He said: "2 - 1 to you. Playing well."

Shaun thanked Bradley for the comment before the host gestured he was being sarcastic. Amjid was up in seat four and he progressed to the final so the team were playing for an overall £8,000.

They built up 12 steps, but left empty-handed after they were caught with 26 seconds remaining. However, viewers following the show on Twitter were unimpressed with the standard of quizzing on today's episode.

Imogen said: "This has been the worst episode I’ve ever seen #thechase"

Gaz added: "Has everyone turned over to pointless yet"

Alex posted: "# TheChase is so painful, I've switched to pointless"

Will tweeted: "deffo up there with the worst episode ever"

Anna commented : "Is there a record of episodes with most wrong answers? Today would be a good day to start if not."

Arthur said: "Bye chasers enough is enough"
