Bradley Walsh was forced to compose himself after a player’s story left him in tears.
The team’s second hopeful, Elizabeth, was described as “chirpy” by today’s Chaser, Mark Labbett, also known as The Beast.
She explained that she had only started her job as Communications Manager the previous day.
“And you’ve already had a day off to come and do this?” Bradley asked in disbelief. “How did that go down?”
“Really well,” she laughed.
Discussing Elizabeth’s hobby of amateur drama, Bradley didn’t expect the details she was about to reveal: “What productions have you been doing recently?”
“Well, a couple of years ago I did Calendar Girls,” she began. “So I was naked on stage except for a pair of iced buns.”
Bradley look at the camera in shock as Elizabeth corrected herself: “Belgian buns.”
Trying to stay professional, Bradley pushed forward by asking about what she had planned to do with her prize money.
“When I was a child I never learned how to ride a bicycle,” she explained. “So I would like to buy a red bicycle with a basket on the front.”
”Would it not be prudent to learn to ride one first?” he asked.
“No,” she replied firmly. “I think I need the incentive.”
“Okay, good,” Bradley finished.
Unable to resist, Bradley had to go back to the previous subject: “Um, you know the Belgian buns?”
“I got to eat them every day,” she giggled.
This comment was the final nail in the coffin, setting Bradley off into hysterics, laying his head on the podium.
Wiping a tears from his face he composed himself, saying: “That is great.”
