The Chase: Bradley asks contestant if he has seen the show
The Chase returned to ITV this evening as four new contestants took on the Chaser for their chance of taking home a slice of the jackpot. However, the first player to take on the quizzing professional left Bradley Walsh stunned when he alluded to a surprising admission before adding £30,000 the prize fund.
Ken was the first player to take on today’s Chaser Shaun Wallace after earning an impressive £6,000 in his cash builder round.
Before finding out which Chaser he was going up against, Bradley asked if he had a preference.
Ken revealed: “Ideally I think Paul mainly my wife loves him so it would be nice to be on the same show as him.”
“Who do you like?” Bradley asked but Ken was lost for words.

“You don’t know,” the host quipped. “You’ve never even seen the show, have you Ken?”
Shaun was revealed to be the Chaser and offered Ken £30,000 if he wanted to take a step further away from home.
Ken’s teammates, Jenny and Indy encouraged him to consider the higher offer while Victoria urged him to be conservative.
The 64-year-old took a gamble and opted for the higher offer leaving Bradley pleasantly surprised.

Ken seemed subdued at the start of his head-to-head but after answering a few questions right, his mood began to lift.
Commenting on Ken’s success, Bradley said: “That’s put a smile on your face. That’s livened you up.”
The contestant went on to secure his spot in the final before Victoria followed suit.
The second player to face Shaun added £5,000 to the jackpot and Indy quickly added another £3,000.
