BEAT The Chasers host Bradley Walsh took a cheeky swipe at Chaser Shaun Wallace as he revealed he doesn’t “get on” with the ITV brainbox.
The jokey jibe was sparked in the first celebrity series of Beat The Chasers, with the seemingly innocent subject of musicals causing the comment.
ITV host Bradley is no stranger to musicals after appearing in Les Miserables in the West End, and he was eager to show his prowess in the field.
Yet after impressing with his knowledge he was quickly shut down by The Dark Destroyer.
After his run of correct answers Bradley, 60, quipped: “Come on loves.
“Do you want me to come and sit up there?”
Shaun quickly retorted: “No,” something picked up by celebrity contestant Christine Ohuruogu, who commented: “That was very quick.”
Bradley swiftly interjected: “We don’t get on,” as he left fans guessing about their relationship status.
The drama came about on Saturday night’s The Chase spin-off.
Bradley asked: “In the stage musical Oliver! who leads the song Consider Yourself?”
Sports star Christine answered correctly with Artful Dodger before the host agreed: “Of course it’s the Artful Dodger.”
He added: “Directed by?” as Chaser Anne Hegerty said: “Carol Reed.”
Bradley, who appeared to be in a pedantic mood over the musical, clarified: “Sir Carol Reed.”
The panelists confirmed he was the uncle of Oliver Reed before the host, unable to let things lie, continued: “Indeed and the son of?”
The Governess Anne confidently replied: “Herbert Beerbohm Tree,” as Bradley continued: “Who founded?” before answering his own mind-teaser with: “RADA.”
The episode also saw EastEnders legend Shaun Williamson, best known for playing Barry Evans in the BBC soap, trying to beat the five brain boxes.
He was joined by comedians Katherine Ryan and Joe Pasquale, TV presenter Radzi Chinyanganya and Olympic runner Christine all bidding to win the prize money for charity.
Speaking out about taking on a bunch of celebrities for the first time on the show, quizzer Anne said: “It’s always so much fun when it’s a face you actually know!
“Of course, you’re still left trying to guess whether they look like quizzers and how good they’ll be!”
Shaun delighted viewers as he scooped £120,000 for charity in the exciting episode.
