The Chase host Bradley Walsh was brutally mocked by chaser Mark Labbett on the latest episode of the ITV gameshow as the studio erupted into laughter at his expense.
Friday night’s instalment saw the long-standing host welcome four contestants who went up against brainy chaser Mark ‘The Beast’ Labbett to try to earn some cash.
But it was player Matty that first caught viewers attention with his handsome good looks, before walking up the podium to take on The Beast and appearing to tower over Bradley.
The Beast couldn’t help but acknowledge the height difference, saying: “Now are you really tall or is my little Bradley getting even smaller?”
“A bit of both maybe,” said Matty, as he revealed he was 6ft 7.

Mark pointed to himself saying: “So 6ft 5, you’re 6ft 7, and Bradley isssss…” before leaving a dramatic pause and the camera panned to Bradley throwing his neck back and looking up at Matty as the other contestants and audience can be heard laughing in the background.
“I used to be that tall," he said, "it’s working on this show mate,” he added, taking it on the chin.
Recently a contestant was mocked on the show. Player John struggled to keep his cool when faced with chaser Mark 'The Beast' Labbett, accidentally calling him by the wrong name. Instead of addressing Mark correctly, John mistakenly referred to him as Paul, confusing him with fellow chaser Paul "The Sinnerman" Sinha.
Mark greeted John with a simple, "Good afternoon, John!" to which John replied, "Hello, Paul!"

A baffled Bradley Walsh quickly corrected him, saying, "That's Mark..." Realizing his mistake, a visibly embarrassed John covered his mouth and apologized, "My apologies."
Bradley joked, "I can see the problem you've got though, they are very similar," which prompted Mark to giggle, "The similarity is awesome."
Bradley added, "That's your first mistake straight away!"
Fans were quick to react on social media. One tweeted, "Hello Paul?!" while another added, "Calling Mark Paul, well done." After John was caught by the chaser, one viewer even joked, "Maybe if you hadn't called Mark Paul, you would be through to the final chase!"
