Bradley Walsh was hoping he could have multiple wins against the panel of Chasers on Tuesday’s instalment of ITV’s Beat The Chasers. However, he came up against his first hurdle when his warm welcome towards Issa Schultz was met with a cheeky jab. Quick to remark on the show’s long-serving host, many of the show’s viewers found the Australian star’s comments hilarious and are hoping he can stay a little longer, unlike Bradley.
Anne ‘The Governess’ Hegerty is absent from the new season of Beat The Chasers due to testing positive for COVID-19 just before filming commenced.
Without skipping a beat, Australian quizzer Issa ‘Supernerd’ Schultz was able to fill her “cold shoes” and fly out to join the panel.
Premiering on UK soil on Monday, May 16, Bradley was happy to see Issa again and said: “Are you enjoying the experience of being here in Britain?”
Issa replied: “I’m having the time of my life Bradley, an honour to work with yourself.

Taking on four Chasers for a total of £40,000, he managed to beat them with 12 seconds still left on the clock.
Duncan was the first winner of the night and took home £25,000.
He was unsure at first about how many Chasers to take on, so he asked Bradley if he could ask the audience, to which Bradley replied “wrong show” but let him do it anyway.
Another jab was made at Bradley’s age during the show, which insinuated he had been on TV for multiple decades when Lynn stepped up to have a go.
Lynn was the first female pilot for British Airways and referenced how “her name was the answer to a cash builder question on The Chase” in the past.
When taking on the panel, Paul ‘The Sinnerman’ Sinha joked: “This is a historic round with the first female pilot and the man who has recorded more pilots than anyone else in history.”
The biggest potential win came in the form of rainbow-haired Stevie, who took on five Chasers to try and take home £100,000 but narrowly missed out by only five seconds.
Beat the Chasers continues on ITV on Wednesday at 9pm.
