ITV viewers first saw Jenny ‘The Vixen’ Ryan join The Chase back in 2015 as she’s quickly became a fan favourite over the years.
It looks as though Jenny Ryan may have given away how much The Chase’s Bradley Walsh makes on the ITV show.
In an exclusive clip for this Sunday’s episode of Beat the Chasers, (Sunday 14 September), it shows the long-running host address the beloved quizzers, after one of the ITV stars recently touched on Mark Labbett’s ego.
Sharing a stat, he commented: “Last series, we gave away £700,000!”
Despite the audience sounding visibility impressed, Bradley couldn’t help but take a swipe at their losses.
The 65-year-old continued: “More to the point, when I say we gave away, I mean you lost £700,000!
“Now, what would you have done with that £700,000 had we not lost it. When I say we, I mean you.”
Jenny was the first to respond to Bradley’s question as she decided to put a different spin on his outlook.
She replied: “I have to think about it positively rather than negatively. By catching contestants, the chaster saved the show £20 million. Or as ITV calls it, two-thirds of a Bradley!”
Her fellow quizzers laughed at her remark, although Bradley ignored the probe and addressed Shaun Wallace instead.
Known as The Dark Destroyer, he told Bradley it was obvious what he’d do with the money, had they not lost.
He said: “A first copy edition of Chasing the Dream by Shaun Wallace!” Taking a cheeky jibe at his co-star, Darragh Ennis replied: “700,000 copies more like!”
Paul Sinha explained that if there was that much extra money in the budget, they could afford to have Shane Ritchie host instead of Bradley.
Although it seemed as though the ITV presenter took the comment in good humour as he burst out laughing before giving him a round of applause.
Looking into the camera, he said: “Come on over, Shane! You can do it mate.”
Beat the Chasers airs Sundays at 8pm on ITV1
