Bradley Walsh Responds to Chaser’s Jibe About His Acting Journey

Bradley Walsh Surprised by Anne Hegerty’s Quip

In a recent episode of **The Chase**, host Bradley Walsh was caught off guard when Chaser Anne Hegerty made a humorous dig at his past acting career.

The Coronation Street Connection

During the show, a contestant named Suzanne shared her fondness for Coronation Street, connecting it back to Walsh’s previous role as Danny Baldwin, which he portrayed from 2004 to 2006. After moving on to other projects, Walsh left the soap.

The Unexpected Remark

Anne Hegerty, affectionately referred to as The Governess, surprised everyone with her comment. “Hi Suzanne, I like Corrie. It’s full of good actors… I mean it is now, it used to be a bit rubbish,” she quipped.

Walsh’s Reaction

Walsh appeared taken aback by Hegerty’s remark, responding, “Well, that’s unnecessary, isn’t it?” However, he quickly regained his composure and continued to guide the episode.

Contestant’s Fate

After facing the Chaser, contestant Suzanne left the show without any winnings. Despite the unexpected jabs, she contributed to an entertaining episode for viewers.

The Chase’s Legacy

Anne Hegerty has been a part of **The Chase** for over 15 years. Recent reports suggest she might also tackle roles in international versions, including **The Chase New Zealand**, where she’ll compete against local contestants alongside host Paul Henry.

What’s Next?

This exciting special was filmed earlier this year in Sydney, with its premiere date yet to be announced.

**The Chase UK** first aired in 2009 and has steadily gained popularity, featuring Bradley Walsh and various chasers like Mark Labbett and Shaun Wallace.
