Bradley Walsh was blown away by a contestant's name on today's episode of The Chase.
The 61-year-old welcomed four new quizzers on Thursday's edition of the popular game show. Tracey, Geoff, Duran and Nick were taking on Anne Hegerty in a bid to win a cash prize.
The Governess was in dominant form and eliminated Tracey, before Geoff progressed through the head-to-head to book his place in the Final Chase. Duran was up next and Bradley Walsh heaped praise on the animal management graduate's name.

He said: "What a name that is. That's an absolute beauty." However, the quizzer stepped in and said the name was "unfortunate".
Duran added: "My parents don't even like Duran Duran. They just decided to be cruel with it.
"I was the youngest so they thought they'd have a bit of fun. All [my brothers and sisters] have very normal names, I'm just the unfortunate one."
However, Bradley was almost swayed when the player said she had Duran Duran's 1982 hit single Rio sung at her everyday when people find out her name. He joked: "I sort of get that."
Duran built up £4,000 before she took the lower offer of £1,000 to take a step closer to home. She progressed through to the final and was competing with Geoff for a total of £5,000.
The team built up 17 steps, but were caught with 11 seconds remaining.
The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV and ITV Hub
