Bradley Walsh, the presenter of popular quiz show The Chase, left viewers shocked when he opened up about his health condition during a recent episode. The incident occurred while Bradley was in the middle of asking a question to one of the contestants.
The revelation
During Monday's episode, Bradley was engaged in a game of colored scrabble with contestant Liz. She was asked about the value of each scrabble tile based on its color. At first, Bradley appeared confused by the question, leading Chaser Paul Sinha to explain the scoring system associated with each tile. It was at this moment that Bradley revealed his colorblindness, stating, "Fans at home are probably thinking 'What's he talking about; he must be really dim', but no, it's my color blindness."
Viewer reactions
Fans of The Chase took to Twitter to express their surprise at Bradley's revelation. One user wrote, "#thechase had no idea Bradley was color blind!" Another user made a playful pun, saying, "Color-blindness? That came right out of the green!" A third viewer commented on the potential challenges Bradley may face when the answers are locked in, given his condition.
The episode's outcome
Despite Liz managing to secure £4,000 for the team, her fellow contestants were eliminated by Chaser Paul. In the final round, Liz faced off against Paul but was ultimately caught with just over a minute remaining on the clock.
Upcoming spin-off
In exciting news for fans of The Chase, ITV recently announced that all of the beloved chasers, including Paul Sinha, will be returning for a spin-off called Beat the Chasers. The show, hosted by Bradley Walsh, is set to air in early 2024 on ITV1 and ITVX.
