Bradley Walsh lifts lid on The Chase secret as he makes surprise admission

Bradley Walsh has lifted the lid on the production of The Chase.

The 62-year-old presenter is renowned for his role as host of the popular ITV game show. Each weeknight, Bradley welcomes four new players to test their wits against one of Britain's finest quiz brains.

The former Coronation Street actor has fronted the show since 2009 and recorded more than 2,200 episodes. Away from the world of quizzing, Bradley also plays the lead role as Pop in The Larkins, which is set to return for season two on October 16.

Ahead of the series premiere, the ECHO attended a Q&A with several members of the cast, which was hosted by Good Morning Britain's Richard Arnold.

The showbiz reporter was amazed as Bradley explained how he successfully manages to juggle such a busy schedule. He said: "Everyone says that to me, but If you enjoy the job you do, you will never do a day's work again in your life."

Bradley also shared some surprising details on the production of The Chase as he revealed he actually spends more time filming The Larkins, even though each season only contains six episodes. He said: "With The Chase, I only do 70 days work a year. We do three of them a day."

The Larkins also stars Joanna Scanlan and follows the titular family as they navigate their idyllic life in 1950s Kent. The comedy drama will return to ITV for season two at 8pm on Sunday, October 16.
