Beat the Chasers Viewers Laugh at Risqué Answer Option as Deborah Misses Out by a Second

Bradley Walsh underscored the show’s playful, fixed format through a lighthearted promotional clip.

Overview

  • ITV aired a new season seven episode on Sunday featuring a Velázquez question whose option “Flicking Beans” sparked laughter on air and on X.
  • Deborah, a retired teacher from Gosport who said she lost 14 stone and was playing for a “nip and tuck fund,” chose “Shelling Peas,” with the correct answer revealed as “Cooking Eggs.”
  • She then opted to face three Chasers for £30,000 and was beaten when the clock ran out with one second remaining.
  • Earlier in the episode, Brendan from London went out on the first question after missing a slang term for “sherbet,” drawing a pointed aside from host Bradley Walsh.
  • In a preview clip, Walsh asked which actors should play the Chasers in a hypothetical film, and he has recently reiterated he will not alter the show’s established format.
