Bradley Walsh is commanding a massive salary on The Chase – according to Richard Osman.
The Pointless presenter, 52, made the revelation on Twitter last summer.
Bradley, 63, has been fronting the popular ITV quiz show for years.
As a result, Richard reckons he’s doing very nicely – although we’re not entirely sure where he got his facts from…
£375,000 a week. Wow. Haaland is on, what we call in the business ‘Bradley Walsh money’.

Bradley Walsh’s salary on The Chase
Richard was tweeting about Manchester City signing Erling Haaland when he made a reference to the presenter’s pay check.
There are rumours the footballer is on a whopping £375,000 a week.
Teasing the host, with tongue firmly in cheek, Richard posted: “£375,000 a week. Wow. Haaland is on, what we call in the business ‘Bradley Walsh money’.”
The pair fronted rival shows on BBC One and ITV for years.
Subsequently, fans flocked to social media lapping up Richard’s ‘revelation’.
One wrote: “Hahaha. You get what you pay for.”
Another joked: “Bradley Walsh’s daily wage and a footballers weekly wage isn’t a fair comparison.”
While The Chase’s Mark Labbett, aka The Beast, teased: “If you are trying to stir things up in Chase land, you have succeeded :).”
Of course it’s not known how much The Chase stars are on.

However Mark, Shaun Wallace, Anne Hegerty, Jenny Ryan and Paul Sinha are all said to have made millions from the show.
