The Chase's Bradley Walsh convinced of wind-up during Merseyside player's 'lucky' showing

The Chase's Bradley Walsh was convinced he was being wound up on today's episode.

The 62-year-old presenter returned to front Tuesday's edition of the ITV game show. Graham, Jason, Carole and Riannon were testing their wits against Darragh Ennis in a bid to win thousands.

Graham and Jason both put in superb performances to progress past the Menace and book their place in the Final Chase. Carole was up in seat three and was aiming to add to the £11,000 cash haul.

The 52-year-old from Wirral was hoping to take her husband on holiday to Las Vegas and earned £4,000 in an impressive cash-builder. Darragh told the player should put her luck to the test after a series of successful guesses suggested she was about to defeat him in the head-to-head.

The Menace said: "You should buy a lottery ticket. You are getting really good at guessing." Carole added: "Luck of the Irish."

Bradley was convinced Carole was thrown a trick question when he asked: "What species of catfish tricks other fish into raising its young for them inside their mouths."

Carole went for "cuckoo catfish" but Bradley's suspicions were raised. He said: "I don't think there's such a thing as a cuckoo catfish. I think it's a wind up."

The host was proved to be incorrect as Carole's luck continued to be within one step of the last round. Bradley joked: "What do I know about this show? Absolutely nothing."

However, the Menace fought back and proceeded to eliminate the Merseyside contestant. The Chaser also eliminated Riannon so it was just the first two contestants in the last round.

Graham and Jason built up 18 steps and left with the cash prize as The Menace could only build up 17 steps in a nail biting final Chase.
