Bradley Walsh has had his fair share of surprising moments on The Chase, but a recent question left him, chaser Jenny Ryan, and viewers at home completely baffled.
During the episode, contestant Susan from Stoke-on-Trent was asked: “As of 2023, what was the fee for having a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame?” The choices given were $750, $7,500, or $75,000.

Susan wasted no time in selecting the highest amount, reasoning, “I’m going high. I think those people can afford it.”
Bradley wasn’t convinced, placing his bet on $7,500, and The Vixen agreed with him. Both of them got it wrong. When it was revealed that Susan’s guess of $75,000 was the correct answer, Bradley was left completely taken aback.
Fans at home were just as stunned, with one taking to X (formerly Twitter) to say, “Well, I never knew you paid for a Hollywood Walk of Fame star! You learn something new every day! #TheChase.”
Meanwhile, Bradley has been getting reflective about his career. Despite being a staple of The Chase, he recently admitted that the show isn’t the highlight of his time on television.
Opening up on The Tommy Tiernan Show, the 63-year-old shared that his most cherished work has been his travel series Bradley & Barney Walsh: Breaking Dad, which he films alongside his son.

“It’s one of the most wonderful things I’ve ever done because spending time with my lad,” Bradley said, visibly emotional. “From the age of 18—he’s now 26 by the way—that’s how long the show’s been running—it was just extraordinary.”
The series follows Bradley and Barney as they embark on adrenaline-fuelled adventures across the world, tackling challenges and making unforgettable memories together. And fans will be delighted to know that Breaking Dad has officially been renewed for a sixth series.
The upcoming season will see the father-and-son duo heading to Asia, exploring exciting locations in Japan and Thailand.
Whether he’s cracking jokes on The Chase, uncovering surprising facts, or bonding with his son on screen, Bradley continues to prove why he’s one of the nation’s most beloved TV personalities.
