ITV The Chase's Bradley Walsh in tears as contestant wins eye-watering prize in final

The Chase's Bradley Walsh was left in tears as a contestant managed to win some prize money on spin-off Beat the Chasers.

Contestants go head-to-head with up to five Chasers for a chance to win a substantial cash prize. In the cash builder round, hopefuls can secure £5,000 before receiving tempting offers from the Chasers, which could lead to a showdown with all five for a hefty sum.

Despite the daunting prospect of facing Mark "The Beast" Labbett, Anne "The Governess" Hegerty, Paul "The Sinnerman" Sinha, Jenny "The Vixen" Ryan, and Shaun "The Dark Destroyer" Wallace solo, Bradley has revealed that some contestants do indeed triumph over the quiz titans.

With the show's premiere just around the corner, Bradley shared his emotional response to one contestant's victory: "One contestant I was really welling up over the fact they'd won the money."

He described the win as a touching moment, adding, "They ended up going home with a lot of money – it was great!" However, he said the show could be more intense then The Chase, calling it a "different kettle of fish".

He explained: "Comparing this to the Daytime show, the boot is on the other foot."

Bradley also noted the visible frustration among the Chasers when a mistake is made, revealing, "You could see it in their faces and you could see it in the other Chasers' faces as well where they're thinking, 'Oh crikey, fancy saying that! '", reports Daily Star.

Bradley Walsh will put both contestants and Chasers through their paces with rapid-fire questions, pausing the countdown clock only when a correct answer is given. The stakes are high as the team whose timer hits zero first loses, making it a battle of both quick wits and swiftness.

Brad divulged the insider tip: "If they are giving you a 15-second head start, you can afford to get nearly four questions wrong and still beat them, so that's the secret of it. It's all about the timings."
