The Chase's Bradley Walsh taken aback by player's 'MI5' role

The Chase's Bradley Walsh was stunned to hear details of a player's secret occupation.

The show welcomed another four new contestants today ready to go head-to-head against The Chaser. Their opponent was fan favourite Darragh "The Menace" Ennis but Bradley's attention was primarily directed toward one player and her top-secret job.

Elsie was first up to the mark and was quizzed by Bradley on what she did for a living to which she simply replied, "Finance". After he prodded her to divulge a little more information, she added: "Well it's a secret, I know we can't talk about it.

"It's like MI5 secret sort of stuff." A stunned Bradley was taken aback by the admission but quickly made his excitement known, BirminghamLive reported. He said: "I can't believe you've owned up to that! I ask everyone if they're spies."

Viewers at home were hoping she would explain her role further as one fan said: "What does Elsie do?" Another added: "No one who works for MI5 would mention it on national TV."

While a third said: "Elsie has since been whisked away by a mysterious man carrying a large butterfly net and has been taken to an unknown location."

In the end, Elsie was no match for Darragh as he prevented her from making it back to her team.
