She appeared alongside her boyfriend and The Wanted singer Max, Christine Ohuruogu and Owain Wyn-Evans.

All four took part in the general knowledge quiz show as they attempted to beat The Chaser Anne Hegerty.

When it came to Max's turn, he admitted during his chat with Bradley that he couldn't dance.

Maisie then cut in to praise his appearance on Strictly Come Dancing before Brad asked if anyone else there had competed on the BBC One show.

The actress then revealed: "I knocked him out."

"So you've known each other before this then?" asked Walsh as he was unaware they were a couple.

Max teased Bradley by replying: "Yeah we know each other a little bit."

As the pair looked at each other and giggled Bradley had a blank expression as he tried to make sense of it all.

The presenter then said: "OK how do you know each other," before adding: "Have you been out together?"

Maisie then revealed how they were dating right now before Max said: "It's sort of going at the minute, yeah."

"I didn't know that I'm so sorry," Bradley awkwardly said before asking: "Erm, so when's the big day?"

Fans at home didn't miss the scenes and took to social media to comment.

One said: "Bradley Walsh not knowing that Max and Maisie are dating even after the way Maisie reacted to everything Max said is the most Bradley Walsh thing ever."

A second said: ";How did Bradley not know they were together?!"

The episode also saw Max pretend to propose to Maisie which left her gobsmacked.

The Chase is available now on ITVX.
