The Chase viewers spotted an awkward blunder with one of Bradley Walsh's questions. The 60-year-old TV host welcomed Nigel, Sian, Sam and Alayne to the game show, who were all keen to bag as much money as possible.

The answers below included Buzz Lightyear, Woody, and Mr Potato Head. Sian correctly answered Buzz, which saw her make it back home to the team - but fans were quick to point out an issue with the Mr Potato Head reference.
