He then gestured to the empty chair where the Chaser would normally be seated at the end of the game.

It's not the first time Mark has hammered the set after storming off - he punched a wall in a fit of rage and stormed off set after getting a question wrong in 2017 too.

He later joked to The Sun: "It was better to hit that than hit Bradley."
