THE CHASE fans did a double-take after it appeared that host Bradley Walsh had cheated during today’s instalment.
'Eh?' Bradley Walsh shocked by Only Fools and Horses question
ITV has had its fair share of claims that their hugely popular quiz show is “fixed”, but for the first time it appeared that comedian Bradley Walsh, 57, had given player Dan a hint to an answer.
First up to take his chances against chaser Paul “The Sinnerman” Sinha, the 27-year-old teacher appeared calm and collected as he swept his way down the board to get back home.
Yet, in a tense moment, his final question was a baffling one for all involved as Bradley read: “On TV, what was the name of Del Boy Trotter’s dad?”
After reading out the possible answers, Bradley added: “Eh,” before the Great Yarmouth contestant proceeded to answer Reg, a surprising suggestion that turned out to be correct.

Gobsmacked by the unbelievable coincidence, viewers were eager to discover if the Law and Order UK actor had in fact given the player the correct answer by way of a sly hint.
“Did Bradley give Dan the correct answer hey #thechase,” one person wrote suspiciously.
Another continued: “Did Bradley give Dan that last question?? Ey? #thechase."
“Has Bradley not just given Dan a big hint for the right answer?! #TheChase,” a third agreed, followed by: “Did @BradleyWalsh just give that guy the answer to the Del Boy question ?? #thechase #cheat.”

Meanwhile, other fans were frustrated that both the presenter and today’s chaser didn’t know the correct answer instantly.
“Reg Trotter was in 1st Only Fools Xmas special. Sinha man should of known that #thechase,”(sic) one person complained.
Paul admitted that his knowledge was lacking in the area, explaining: “That was a tough old question that, I went for Ray - I didn’t get it right.”
The Chase continues tomorrow at 5pm on ITV.
