The Chase's Bradley Walsh amazed by player's job he'd 'never heard of'

A player on The Chase baffled Bradley Walsh as he shared what he did for work.

The ITV quiz show host welcomed on four new players to test their wits against chaser Paul Sinha. Zach, Kate, Hollie and Paddy all hoped they were smart enough to beat the chaser and bag themselves a cash prize.

The show had barely started when Bradley had some of his own questions for Zach. He asked what the contestant worked as and Zach told the host he was a saturation diver.

Bradley was in awe as he said: "What? I've never ever heard of that job." Zach seemed used to having to explain his profession to people as he said: "It's a technique we use in the North Sea for the oil and gas industry for spending up to 28 days at a time under pressure so they get the most time out of you."

But Bradley was still baffled as he asked: "To do what exactly?" Zach explained: "Well building oil fields on the sea bed."

He shared his unusual living conditions as he added: "We live in a compression chamber for 28 days, and go out once in 24 hours, go dive on the seabed for six hours then come back to the compression chamber and do it all again the next day."

Bradley was gobsmacked as he said: "You do not!" He added: "Well I've never ever heard of that.... ever."
