ITV The Chase's Bradley Walsh 'not ok' as Jenny Ryan 'conned' by player

The Chase's Bradley Walsh was taken aback by an amazing turnaround on today's show.

The 62-year-old returned to front Thursday's edition of the ITV game show. Pete, Andrew, Janty and Kerri were testing their wits against Jenny Ryan in a big to win a huge jackpot.

The Vixen was in fine form as she proceeded to knock out the opening two players. Things went from bad to worse for the team when Janty did not answer a single answer correctly in her cash-builder.

The 28-year-old opted to go for the higher offer of £40,000 to bring some money to the overall cash pot. Unbelievably, Janty proceeded to navigate her way past The Chaser and bring the higher amount home.

Bradley was visibly agitated during the tense head-to-head, which sparked Janty to ask if he was OK. The host confirmed he wasn't as he said he hasn't seen anything like that in the show.

He said: "That will go down for me in Chase history. That was absolutely thrilling and wish we could just do it all over again."

Jenny added: "You needed a series of question that suited you and that is what exactly happened." Viewers following the show on Twitter were amazed and suspected she may have played out a well executed con on the show.

Brian said: "That's the best comeback since Lazarus, Brad. Well done Janty. Played Jenny like a proper hustler."

India added: "£0 to £40,000 in two minutes. Quickest acceleration in #TheChase history"

Lorraine commented: "Well that has shocked the entire TV audience"

Joe posted: "Did she act like a fool just to trick the chaser into a huge offer?"

The Chaser fought back and proceeded to eliminated Kerri so it was just Janty in the Final Chase. The player built up 6 steps but her luck ran out as she was caught with one minute and 26 seconds remaining.
