Bradley Walsh in hysterics at Shaun Wallace blunder over answer on The Chase

The Chase might be a high-stakes gameshow, but it doesn't mean it's all doom and gloom - in fact, it's often the opposite.

Brits were left in fits of laughter after watching presenter Bradley Walsh crack up at one of Shaun Wallace's answers.

He ended up nearly running off the set in hysterics after the Dark Destroyer made a massive blunder on Wednesday's episode.

Have a look here:

When contestant Ryan stepped up to the podium, he had a lot riding on it as he didn't have any money while going into the head-to-head.

He failed to answer one question correctly in the cash builder, so he hadn't started off on a great foot.

But the 24-year-old was feeling a lot more relaxed by the third question, as it was so bizarre it managed to lighten the mood.

He was asked: "What animal was reportedly used to lay cables around Buckingham Palace for the broadcast of Charles and Diana's wedding?"

The three options available were a mole, a ferret or a badger.

Ryan chuckled: "Can you imagine a mole taking the cables through?"

Bradley had already began to lose composure by this point and went on a hilarious tangent about the animal workers.

He joked: "It's not that, it's seeing him come through the hole like 'Where do you want this lads? Anyone got my gloves? Right Baz, put that down... ma'am'."

After it was revealed that Ryan had gone with a ferret, he insisted that the fluffy creatures 'used to do that'.

Bradley quipped back: "Do you know how big a cable is?" Yes, but you know what, they would've attached a string for what's called a pull-through.

"You can't attach - look at that! You can't attach that to a ferret, by the time the ferret's gone four feet he would be like [gasping for breath]."

It turned out Ryan was right on the money - and viewers expected Shaun to easily get it right as well.

But The Chaser clearly needs to brush up on his royal knowledge, as he incorrectly answered mole instead.

By this point, Bradley couldn't contain his amusement any longer and burst into fits of laughter.

He doubled over while giggling and quickly reminded Shaun that moles are partially blind.

The former Coronation Street star said: "Not only that, they're blind! Where's he taking that cable? Oi, moley where you going with that?"

Ryan's teammates were seen wiping away tears of laughter as they watched the presenter tease Shaun.

The Chaser couldn't help but let his mask slip and smirked as he was ribbed for his wrong answer.

But he ended up having the last laugh, as he managed to catch Ryan and knock him out of the game.

You win some, you lose some, I guess!
