The Chase host Bradley Walsh came under fire for his “harsh” behaviour during the show this week.
Viewers were furious after an answer to a driving-related question wasn’t given, despite it being correct.
What happened with Bradley Walsh on The Chase last night?
Bradley’s harsh behaviour came under fire during an episode of The Chase this week.
Monday’s show saw another four contestants take on the Chaser in the hope of winning big.
It was during the fourth contestant’s cash builder that Bradley’s “harsh” behaviour came to the forefront.
It was Andy’s first question that tripped him up, and caused viewers at home to brand Bradley “harsh”.
“If a driver does a u-ie what manoeuvre are they performing?” Bradley asked.
“A turnaround in the road,” Andy replied.
However, it turns out that Andy’s answer wasn’t exactly correct.
“A U-turn,” Bradley corrected him, before continuing with the questioning.
Things went from bad to worse for Andy, with the 35-year-old from Stoke-on-Trent only answering two questions correctly.
This meant that he only picked up £2,000 in the cash builder.
Andy then went for the low offer of -£1,000 and managed to evade Shaun Wallace, heading into the Final Chase.
Viewers slam Bradley Walsh’s behaviour
Viewers of the show weren’t happy that Bradley hadn’t given Andy the point for his driving-related answer.
Many took to Twitter to slam the 62-year-old, branding his decision “harsh”.
“He should’ve been given that, harsh,” one viewer tweeted.
“Since when is a turn around in the road not a u-turn @BradleyWalsh???” another asked.
“‘In the road’, he said, which is correct as far as I can see,” a third grumbled.
“That’s a bit tight not giving him turning around in the road,” another said.
“OH COME ON NOW BRAD,” a fifth tweeted.
Harsh or not, it didn’t really matter in the long run, as Andy and his teammate were caught by Shaun in the Final Chase.
The Dark Destroyer answered 14 questions correctly, catching the contestants with 14 seconds remaining.
Exciting news about The Chase
Bradley’s harsh behaviour comes amid some exciting news about the show.
