Callum, a 20-year-old business management student from Cardiff University left Bradley blushing after saying: "Law and Order isn't exactly the best TV show, is it?" before adding that they killed his character off from Coronation Street because he was dull.
The 56-year-old host, who played Danny Baldwin in Coronation Street and the lead role of DS Ronnie Brooks in Law & Order: UK, agreed that Law & Order USA was "rubbish" but that his UK version should be given more credit.
Asking the hopeful what he would do if he won the money, "gambling fan" Callum replied: "Last year I went travelling on my gap year and got bitten by the bug," prompting Bradley to say: "You got bitten by a bug while travelling?"
Callum replied: "I did actually, bed bugs," leaving bewildered Bradley to ask: "Who's bed were you in? Leave it right there!"

The player later revealed that he was hoping for Anne's number after the show, as Bradley looked shocked and said: "That really is gambling!"
One viewer tweeted: "Is Anne actually blushing? #TheChase #gangofchase," before another said: "My mom: 'Eww he is a granny basher' #thechase." A third posted: "Bradley Walsh is funny as f**k #thechase."
But things appeared to get more controversial as the episode unfolded, speaking to Bradley after a question, 58-year-old chaser Anne commented: "It smells of pig poo in the countryside."
Callum then cheekily quipped: "Might want to get out of your car then," leaving Bradley gasping for air, adding: "I think that's the number out the window then!"
