The Chase's Bradley Walsh left reeling by player's dig at Jenny Ryan

Bradley Walsh was taken aback during Monday's episode of The Chase when a contestant made a jibe about Jenny Ryan.

Bradley, 62, once again welcomed four new players on this week's first instalment of the popular ITV programme. Gwyneth, a 55-year-old marketing officer from County Antrim took part alongside Ian, a 61-year-old lorry driver from Somerset, and Jen, a 23-year-old teacher from Bolton.

But it was Dan, a 44-year-old business consultant from Croydon, whose comments left both Bradley and Jenny reeling.

Dan was first up, answering an impressive six questions correctly in his cash builder. When he was asked which Chaser he would like to be up against, he said he had done his research.

He told Bradley: "I went on the internet and marginally I have a slightly better chance against Jenny." Jenny aka the Vixen then appeared in the Chaser's seat.

Shaking her head at Dan, she said: "Frontman Dan with dodgy research skills!". When Dan made it through to the final chase, Bradley asked if he believed his initial comments about having a better chance against the Vixen.

Dan said: "Well, she didn't catch me", and Bradley replied: "You did have a three step lead!".

Fans at home thought Dan had made a rod for his back. Taking to Twitter, Jessica said: "He fancied his odds against Jenny and now she's gonna wipe the floor with him, watch".

Erasmo said: "Jenny is itching to beat him", while Granger BC said: "Jenny easiest to beat? Why do most contestants go for the middle offer then instead of going high?"
