What did The Chase contestant Nathan say about his job?

When he first joined Bradley before taking on the cash-builder, Nathan explained his unusual job.

He said: “I work for the regulators of British horse racing, the British Horse Racing Authority, and they look into irregular betting patterns, horse welfare, being a point of contact, that sort of thing.”

Bradders asked Nathan what he does in his spare time and he explained: “I like a park run on a Saturday, and then I like to take my daughter out looking for mushrooms.

“If I get a decent mushroom, one I like the look of, I send it to my mate Dave and if he says ‘Yep you can have some of that’, I put it in breadcrumbs, lovely.”

Unfortunately, the team went home empty handed in the end.

Shaun Wallace, who is currently on screens for ITV’s Don’t Rock The Boat, caught them with 17 seconds remaining, denying them their £19,000 prize pot.
