What did Bradley Walsh say?
As the pair went head to head, Laura became stuck on one particular question.
Reading out the question, Bradley said: “Who was made the patron saint of television for being able to see mass on her wall despite being too ill to attend it?”
The options were St Rose of Lima, St Teresa of Avila or St Clare of Assisi.
Just answer the questions… simple as that
Laura went for St Teresa of Avila, while Darragh chose the correct answer of St Clare of Assisi.
Following the question, Darragh, 40, joked: “So, when they asked her if she was able to see mass and she was Italian she said ‘I see, see.'”
However, his remark didn’t sit well with host Bradley.
The ITV star began to approach Darragh in his chair.
Pointing his finger, he said: “Just answer the questions, you questions, me comedy, you contestant. Simple as that.”
Thankfully, Darragh appeared to see the funny side of Bradley’s gag.
How did The Chase viewers react?

Taking to Twitter, one wrote: “Just answer the questions Darragh leave the comedy to Brad #TheChase.”
