ITV The Chase Bradley Walsh accused of 'giving player the answer'

Fans of The Chase were surprised when Bradley Walsh effectively "gave the answer" to one of the contestants.

Bradley Walsh welcomed four new players on this week's first edition of the popular ITV game show.

Emma, Jonathan, Lizz and Brian were testing their wits against The Dark Destroyer in a bid to take home some cash.

Emma was up first, and during her cash builder round she was asked the question "Which animal is Alberta Gator, the mascot of the University of Florida?"

Unfortunately, Emma's answer was incorrect.

She said "crocodile", and the right response would have been an alligator.

Some viewers thought the question was too easy, and even suggested it had included the right answer.

Taking to Twitter, MissLionHeart said: "Gator! The clue was in the question"

Michelle W said: "Bradley gave her the answer and she still said crocodile I can't #TheChase"

awizardharreh said: it was an "obvious question where the answer is alligator"

An embarrassed Emma later said: "I got confused, with the teeth..."

Bradley said: "Oh you have made me laugh".

Thankfully, she managed to build an impressive £5,000 and take it back to the table.

The Chase airs weekdays from 5pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
