The Chase: Bradley copies Mark Labbett’s ‘senior moment’
The Chase star Mark Labbett, 53, was left unimpressed by a viewer who called him “snide” when he highlighted Paul Sinha’s results from his worst round. After an episode last month, a Twitter user commented on Mark’s performance in the final round. They wrote: “Has The Beast just had the worst final Chase by a Chaser ever? #TheChase.” Mark’s co-star Anne Hegerty, 60, replied highlighting she has had a worse final round than Mark.
So answering a question is snide?
“Nope. I once lost 7-20,” she replied.
Mark also responded claiming their co-star Paul, 48, has had the “record” worst final round.
“Record is Shaun losing 24-7 iirc,”(sic) Mark replied in view of his 110,000 followers.
One user reacted to Mark’s reply, insisting his response was “snide”.
They wrote: “Got that one in quick Mark, snide, haha.”
Unimpressed with the remark, Mark replied: “So answering a question is snide?”
The Twitter user responded insisting he was only joking.
“I was teasing,” he commented. “Thought you were bantering and baiting him, my bad. Curled up in a ball now watching football.”
Elsewhere, Mark and his co-star Jenny Ryan, 37, reacted to Michael Sheen’s post about him appearing on the celebrity version of the show.
Michael, 50, took to Twitter to share a picture of him from the studio, appearing to be excited.
The actor shared the snap with his 312,000 followers commenting: “Chase me!!”
Mark replied: “Be careful what you wish for :)”
Jenny retweeted the actor’s post with the caption: “Presented without comment.”
Other fans commented on the star’s upcoming appearance on the show.
One user cheekily wrote: “I be there now in a minute, just getting my trainers on!”(sic)
A second wrote: “You better win!”
The Chase airs weekdays from 5pm on ITV.
