Bradley Walsh was confused while hosting The Chase tonight after one player 'ran off' once she secured her place in the final.
Four more contestants went head to head with a chaser on the ITV quiz show hoping to head home with a cash prize. Host Bradley welcomed Mark, Laura, Eileen and Kyle as they took on The Dark Destroyer Shaun Wallace.
Laura, a 23-year-old support worker, baffled Bradley as she couldn't get away from him quick enough after securing her place in the final. She had made it through after accepting a low offer of £1,000.

The Hertfordshire woman hoped to spend any winnings on studying for a masters degree. After securing £4,000 in her cash builder round she decided to play it safe as she opted for the low offer.
Laura successfully made it through to the final after a tense round. But without giving Shaun or Bradley a chance to talk to her about how the round went, she quickly scarpered and returned back to her team.
Bradley stood with him arms folded watching her, with a puzzled look on his face, before he asked: "Where are you going?" Laura replied: "Oh whoops!" before skittishly returning to the cash board. She added: "Sorry!" as she awkwardly giggled.
Bradley said: "You can't just run away now.... Chaser?" Shaun replied: "See you in the final Chase Laura."
She looked at Bradley for approval as he said: "Yeah ta-ra." She laughed as he added: "You're in the final".
He put his hands out for a double high five and the team applauded Laura as she returned to the bench once more.
Fans watching at home took to Twitter to share that they were equally as bemused as Bradley. One user said: "Why she just walk off like that #thechase."
Mr Chambers said: "She couldn’t scarper quick enough… #TheChase". Meanwhile, Dee said: "Rather go out than do what Laura did I'd be mortified.... #TheChase"
