The Chase's Bradley Walsh red-faced after being called out by co-star over on-air mistake

Bradley Walsh was left red-faced on The Chase when Jenny 'The Vixen' Ryan called him out for an awkward mistake. On Thursday's episode (December 19) of the popular ITV quiz show, Bradley was joined by contestants Rachel from Cardiff, Will originally from North Yorkshire, Martin from Enniskillen and Jessica from Cornwall, all hoping their combined knowledge could beat one brain.

However, things took a cringe-worthy turn during a question with contestant Rachel, as Bradley mispronounced a word and she didn't hesitate to correct him. As he launched into the rapid-fire questions, Bradley asked: "What American city's main international airport is known as Lax."

But instead of saying L A X, he said Lax. Quick to correct him, Rachel interjected: "It's LAX." before correctly answering: "Los Angeles.", reports the Liverpool Echo.

Having made it to the next round, Rachel confessed that she hoped to face Shaun Wallace, as she was eager to hear him sing if a music question came up.

However, she was up against The Vixen and immediately called out Bradley's error as she entered the stage, saying: "Hello retiary Rachel. There was some really quizzing on display there but what I partially liked is that you (Rachel) corrected Brad. Yes it usually is LAX not Lax, Lax is Brad's attitude to this show."

Everyone erupted into laughter as Bradley quickly moved on with the programme. This comes after Bradley Walsh confessed he 'lost all hope' following a contestant's unexpected revelation during Wednesday's episode.

The television personality was stunned when participant Tom admitted he had accidentally applied for the wrong show and had never actually seen a full episode of The Chase.

Brad was left dumbfounded as he asked: "So, what prompted you to come on the show? " Tom explained that he had applied for a different programme with a similar name. "But I'm delighted to be here," he added.

Brad enquired about the name of the programme Tom had intended to apply for, to which he responded: "Hunted." Brad's reaction was one of disbelief, as he crossed his arms and said: "The Chase. Hunted... wow. I don't hold out much hope for you, Tom."

The Chase airs from 5pm on ITV and ITVX
