Bradley Walsh has caused lawyers to ‘step in’ multiple times on The Chase

It can get awkward on set!

Bradley Walsh once confessed that lawyers regularly have to step in on The Chase.

Brad is best known for presenting the beloved ITV quiz show, and he regularly ends up in fits of giggles over questions.

However, it turns out not everyone on the show finds his little mishaps funny.

TV’s Bradley has revealed that the show always has lawyers on stand-by who are very quick to put a stop to the quiz show’s filming.

Brad told Radio Times: “If there is a slight misread, I am stopped immediately – bang – by the lawyers.

“We have the compliance lawyers in the studio all the time. What you have to do is go back to the start of the question, literally on video tape where my mouth opens – or where it’s closed from the previous question – and the question is re-asked. It is stopped to the split second.”

Bradley went on to share when he knows that the contestants are going to end up losing.

He said the moment the chaser gets in a streak, it’s basically over for the guest.

Bradley added: “That’s the real banana skin score [that will trip the chasers up]. Once the chasers get in a rhythm there’s no stopping them. They can answer 24, 25 questions in two minutes. We’ve even almost reached 30.”

The Chase on ITV – What Bradley is really like

Over the years, some contestants have shared their experiences of going on the game show. And they’ve also discussed their experiences of host Brad.

Aaron Greenaway from Cornwall wrote in an article for Cornwall Live: “He really takes the time to know the contestants, their story, where they’re from. The conversation you see on the end edit where you talk about yourself before facing the cash builder goes on for a lot longer than what you see.”
