The Chase: Paul Sinha takes swipe at Bradley Walsh over Coronation Street confession
THE CHASE host Bradley Walsh was subject to a ribbing by chaser Paul Sinha who called him out on not being able to answer a Coronation Street question, despite the fact that he has appeared on the ITV soap.
The Chase: Bradley Walsh 'hasn't got a clue' about soap question
Bradley Walsh starred in Coronation Street as Danny Baldwin from 2004 to 2006, prior to becoming the presenter of ITV quiz show The Chase.
It all unfolded as Bradley, 57, asked: “Which of these ‘Coronation Street’ characters married Steve McDonald twice?”, with possible answers being Vicky Arden, Tracy Barlow or Karen Phillips.
However, it was clear the question stumped not only the contestant, but also Bradley, and The Sinnerman couldn’t hold his tongue.
“I was in it, and I don’t even know,” Bradley exclaimed.
That has been your answer for every Coronation Street question
Paul, 47, quickly swiped back: “That has been your answer for every Coronation Street question!”
Bradley couldn’t hold back his laughter as he retorted: “Not a clue. I just used to turn up for work!”
Unfortunately for the player, he was booted off the show when he offered up the incorrect answer of Tracy Barlow, whilst Paul answered correctly.
This isn’t the first time Coronation Street has come up on the quiz programme as Bradley has previously reminisced about his time spent on the show when Leanne Battersby actress Jane Danson appeared on a celebrity special.
Jane and Bradley’s characters had enjoyed a torrid affair when they were both on the soap and the host couldn’t help but bring it up.
”Crikey, we did some scenes together,” he said to his former co-star.
The fictional pair caused chaos on the cobbles when they embarked on an affair while Leanne was with Danny’s son Jamie (played by Rupert Hill).
When the romance was discovered, the pair moved in together and were even engaged before it all came crashing down when they fought over Mike Baldwin's (Johnny Briggs) will.
Although Bradley is better known for his hosting of The Chase nowadays, he will soon be featuring in another hugely popular series when he takes on a role in Doctor Who.
He will star as a companion to Jodie Whittaker’s thirteen Doctor when the eleventh series of the sci-fi programme is aired later this year.
The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV.
Coronation Street continues tonight at 7.30pm on ITV.
