The Chase viewers lash out at Bradley Walsh over bizarre Paddy McGuinness impression
BRADLEY WALSH usually has viewers cracking up in their seats during The Chase, but during today’s edition of the popular quiz show the audience at home cringed at his bizarre impression of Paddy McGuinness.
Bradley Walsh breaks out into odd Paddy McGuinness impersonation on The Chase
Some even went as far as to ask if the presenter was “drunk” as he tried his luck at both Spanish and Bolton accents - both of which were as odd as the other.
First up to face today’s Chaser Jenny ‘The Vixen’ Ryan, was Laura, who was poised with the question: “Who played the same role in the Spanish film Abre Los Ojos and its Hollywood remake Vanilla Sky?”
She answered Antonio Banderas, which turned out to be one of the three wrong answers which saw her booted out of the running for today’s prize fund.
But after Bradley revealed the correct option was Penelope Cruz, he broke out into a comical Spanish voice which was met with hundreds of raised eyebrows on Twitter.

However, it don’t stop there. When second hopeful David stepped up to the mark, Bradley performed a baffling Bolton routine in which he impersonated Take Me Out host Paddy.
Fans on Twitter, who have seemingly dubbed themselves ‘The Chase Gang’, bombarded the site with bewilderment.
“Someone please remind Bradley to never impersonate Paddy McGuiness again,” wrote one confused audience member, while another distasteful tweet asked: “Is Bradley having a f***ing stroke?!”

Another viewer questioned: “Bradley what are you on right now?”
One tweet also read: “Bradley's attempt at a Bolton accent is so s**t.”
The viewership were equally as scathing during yesterday’s programme, dubbing poor Havel, “the dimmest contestant ever” after she thought King John held a mobile phone on Britain’s £2 coin.
The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV1.
