VIEWERS of The Chase slammed host Bradley Walsh for being ‘condescending’ to contestants.
Fans pointed out a regular catchphrase of the 60-year-old’s which implies they can get a question right if they just think hard enough about it.
“The clue is in the question,” Bradley often tells contestants.
He repeated the catchphrase to popular contestant Julia on Tuesday’s show, which sent fans into a rage.
Julia got the question, “The Estadio Jornalisa Mario Filho is the official name for which football stadium?”
Her options were, “A) Estadio Azteca, B) Camp Nou, or C) The Maracana”.
But she wasn’t sure of the answer and guessed Estadio Azteca because “I was thinking like a latino sounding name?”
Bradley said: “Yep, clue is in the question, the correct answer is The Maracana. The word ‘Filho” gives it away.”
“Okay, what does that mean?” asked Julia.
The host told her: “Well that’s Portuguese, you know an ‘LHO’ is Portuguese, and the Maracana is in Rio, so you know that’s Portuguese.”
Viewers vented their frustration at Bradley on Twitter and accused him of talking down to contestants.
“Bradley Walsh is very condescending to the contestants ‘clue is in the question’ #TheChase ,” wrote one Twitter user.
Another wrote: “The clue is in the question”.
“If you can recognise Portuguese spelling and recognise where each of those stadia are located, knowing that only one of them is on a Portuguese speaking country.”
Another pointed out: “Only if you have some knowledge of Portuguese anyway”.
While a third added: “It’s only a clue if you know Brad , be about right # TheChase.”
Regular fans of The Chase have even created a “the clue is in the question” klaxon to add to the long list of regular sayings and events on the popular ITV quiz show.
Today’s backlash against Bradley came a day after fans became annoyed by his ‘annoying’ habit of saying it’s “gotta be” repeatedly.
Viewers were left irritated when he repeated the phrase multiple times in a row of Friday’s show.
“#TheChase I wish #BradleyWalsh would stop saying ‘gotta be’ every time the contestants answer a question,” wrote on Twitter.
