The Chase's star Mark 'The Beast' Labbett sussed out Bradley Walsh's replacement host for when he packs it in. On Monday nights episode of the ITV gameshow, Bradley and Mark welcomed four new quizzers to the show. The four contestants, Will, Pat, Laura and Dave were all there to chance their hand and outrun The Beast to secure their cash prize.
First contestant up Will started the team off well as he secured his space in the final chase. However, The Beast swiftly caught Pat before Laura narrowly avoided The Chaser to book her spot in the last round. Dave was the fourth contestant to go against the Chaser and built up £5,000 in his cash-builder. The RAF pilot was unfortunately eliminated by The Chaser when he was one step from home, but Bradley was aghast at the final question.
He asked: "Xerostamia is the scientific name for what medical phenomenon." Dave opted for goose pimples when the correct answer was "dry mouth", which sparked Bradley to declare "he's had enough" of The Chase. The Chaser urged the host to retract his statement and identified who his replacement would be. He said: "Don't say that. Phillip Schofield will be here in a heartbeat."
Bradley joked back: "He's never been in Heartbeat. That was Nick Berry." Will and Laura were competing for £10,000 and built up 18 steps in the Final Chase. However, they were caught with just two seconds remaining - meaning they left empty-handed after a nail-biting finish.
The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
