The Chase fans 'fall in love with' player as Bradley Walsh tells him off

Bradley Walsh told a contestant off during Thursday's episode of The Chase.

Four new players were welcomed to the ITV studio where they hoped to beat the Chaser and take home some big money. They were Joe from Matlock, Liz from Southampton, Jack from Cambridge and Sheryl from Flintshire.

Joe was up against Paul Sinha, aka The Sinnerman, first and made it back to the table with £3,000.

Liz, a self-confessed quizzer, answered seven questions correctly in her cash-builder and took the middle offer. After avoiding being caught, she also returned to the team.

Third up was Jack, who was given a high offer of £40,000 from Paul. He thought about it but said to Bradley: "I'm a bit of a square, so I'll go for the eight [thousand pounds]".

When asked what he meant by the remark, Jack explained: "I'm a square, a loser..." before Bradley interjected to tell him off. He said: "You've got to stop that immediately Jack".

Fans at home clearly warmed to Jack and many took to Twitter to cheer him on. Kay said: "Think the entire hashtag has just fell in love with Jack, what a legend", while Nicola said: "Absolutely love Jack on #TheChase so glad he went through".

Alex said: "Get in Jack. So pleased he's through", while Andi said: "Well done Jack. What a nice team". Imogen said: "Oh Jack you little star", and Kev said: "Jack the lad! Belter of a shirt!"

The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV and ITVX
