Bradley Walsh couldn’t help but slam a contestant on Tuesday’s episode of The Chase for his ‘ridiculous’ answer to a question – but would you have got it right?
In the episode, contestant Damien went head-to-head with Darragh Ennis – aka The Menace – and selected a £6,000 offer after doing well in the cashbuilder round.
Bradley asked him: ‘In 2024, Wild Thang was named the World’s Ugliest… what?’
Damien was then given three possible options – dog, cat and baby.
But instead of opting for a cat or dog as his answer, Damien genuinely thought that there had been a World’s Ugliest Baby Competition in 2022 and went on to select baby as the answer.
He said: ‘I don’t remember, but I’ve seen lots of videos of ugly babies on social media.’
Bradley Walsh couldn’t help but slam contestant Damien (pictured) on Tuesday’s episode of The Chase for his ‘ridiculous’ answer to a question – but would you have got it right?
Bradley asked him: “In 2024, Wild Thang was named the ‘World’s Ugliest…’ what?” and said there were three possible answers – dog, cat and baby. Unbelievably, the contestant chose baby…
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the answer shocked Bradley, who stood looked at the player open-mouthed, and said: ‘Wow’.
Bradley added: ‘How to win friends and influence people, hey, Damian? The correct answer is… can’t be baby, surely.’
Mercifully for Bradley, he was right and he revealed the correct answer to be dog.
‘Thank the Lord!’ he admitted.
Of the correct answer, Bradley added: ‘It’s one of those poor unfortunate ones, where its tongue is always sticking out and it’s not the prettiest animal.’
Still not over Damien’s answer, Bradley couldn’t help but point out hat he would have been in a good position in the game if he had opted for a more sensible answer.
He admitted: ‘We would still be well in it by now if you hadn’t put that ridiculous answer.’
Bradley’s shocked reaction to Damien’s answer comes after a former contestant on the show opened up about what he is like once the cameras stop rolling.

The hugely popular ITV game show sees four contestants go head-to-head with a quizzing master in the hopes of winning potentially huge cash prizes.
And now, previous contestants have come forward with their experiences of filming and spending time backstage with Bradley.
Taking to discussion website Reddit, a former player said the host was not as forthcoming as they expected.
‘Brad was nice but, aside from introducing himself, he never interacted with us during breaks when we stopped filming – compared to different to hosts on other shows I’ve been on.’
The user went on to say that, despite this, Chaser Shaun Wallace, aka the Dark Destroyer, was ‘lovely’ when he came down to meet the team after filming was wrapped, and ‘won them over’.
