The Chase’s Bradley Walsh makes savage dig at The Beast as he jokes he’d make Maldives ‘disappear’

THE Chase's Bradley Walsh made a savage dig at Mark 'The Beast' as he joked he'd make the Maldives 'disappear'.

Saturday's edition of the ITV quiz show was a celebrity special featuring Adam Thomas, Brendan Cole, Naga Munchetty and Amanda Byram.

The four celebrities each took on The Beast to try and win money for charity, but at one point, host Bradley couldn't help but make a savage dig at the Chaser's expense.

He said: "Apparently the Maldives are going to disappear soon...especially if you go on holiday there!"

As the audience laughed, Bradley leaned over on the table and cracked up, while Brendan leaned over and tapped him on the arms in congratulations.

Bradley then made a bubbling noise as he sank down and raised his hand from below his chin up his head, mimicking the islands sinking into the water.

The Chase viewers were surprised by the dig, with one writing: "Aw, wow! Mark's gonna f***ing sit on you, Bradley #TheChase

Thankfully Mark appeared to take it all in good humour, rolling his eyes before Bradley moved on to the next question.

Despite his attempts to distract him, Mark was on good form, catching Adam and Naga, leaving Brendan and Amanda in the Final Chase.

The pair struggled to build up much of a gap, and only scored 12 steps, making it relatively easy for Mark to catch them in just over a minute.

However, because they were playing for charity, Bradley still gave them some money to take home to their chosen organisations.

The Chase is available on ITVHub.
