Bradley Walsh was on hand to host yet another episode of The Chase on Wednesday as Mark Labbett, known as The Beast took on the contestants.
Bradley Walsh tells players 'that was a shocking start'
As another classic episode of The Chase aired on Wednesday, viewers were left annoyed after host Bradley Walsh failed to accept an answer after a contestant pronounced it wrong. In the final round, contestant Charlie said "Franco Dettori" instead of Frankie Dettori, as Bradley, 63, refused to give it to them. Viewers labelled it as "unfair" and flocked to X, formerly known as Twitter, to express their thoughts.
One frustrated social media user said: "Oooh I think Franco should have been allowed! He is Lanfranco Dettori - we know him as Frankie - seems unfair #thechase." Another agreed: "Brad should have given him Franco #thechase." Somebody else expressed: "Bradley Walsh always says ‘my team’ but that’s b******s. He does whatever he can to hinder them."
Yet another ITV viewer penned: "They'd better not lose in the last second, the Dettori answer should have been allowed #TheChase." A fifth wrote: "#TheChase Frankie Dettoris name is Lanfranco they should have an extra point."
While a sixth added: "#thechase not giving them the point when he said Franco Dettori was a bit mean being as though his actual name is Lanfranco." (sic)
After the klaxon sounded and the round ended, Bradley exclaimed: "That was a shocking start, one of the worst starts for a team of four I've seen in a long while.

"And then all of a sudden, we've got a rhythm and got going, and look where you are now. 21, brilliant. All you can do now is pray he makes a mistake."
Mark Labbett, otherwise known as The Beast returned as he attempted to stop them from winning a whopping £52,000.
The Gladiators host told him: "I tell you what, for one minute there, I thought we were staring down a 13 or 14 but after their disastrous start, they ended up hitting 12 on the bounce.
