Fans of ITV's The Chase were taken aback during Monday's episode when host Bradley Walsh and chaser Shaun Wallace started rowing over a question.
Bradley, 62, once again welcomed four new players on this week's first instalment of the popular ITV programme. Allie, Dai, Laura and Vidal were testing their wits against one of Britain's biggest brains in a bid to win big money.
Allie was first up to face The Dark Destroyer. She had a decent cash builder, but was caught by the chaser and left the studio empty-handed.

Dai followed a similar fate, leaving Laura next to face Shaun Wallace. She was asked a question about Roman emperors, which led to Bradley tapping into his own knowledge, having watched the 2000 film starring Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix.
Shaun said: "Commodus was actually strangled... ", but Bradley interjected with: "No, no, no, hang on a minute. He was stabbed by Russell Crowe in the thing".
Shaun repeated himself, with: "He was strangled". Bradley said: "Who did Russell Crowe kill then, in the arena?". The Dark Destroyer said: "Commodus was an emperor, why would an emperor be fighting in the gladiator ring?"
Bradley replied: "Because he took him on, Joaquin Phoenix...". Shaun simply said: "No he didn't. "
Taking to Twitter, Georgia said: "Shaun and Brad kicking off!", while Steve Lowe said: "Alright, alright you two! Stop it right now".
Rashida said: "Their arguing and debate on the table is entertaining! The Dark Destroyer is some character today", while Rik called it a "silly spat". Jess said: "It's like watching your parents fight when Bradders and Shaun row innit" [sic].
The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
