The Chase viewers were left cringing after a contestant made a savage dig at chaser Shaun Wallace just minutes before he was revealed as the chaser.Contestant Kieron, a 33-year-old duty manager from Newcastle, was the first contestant to up to the podium before host Bradley Walsh prepared to announce the chaser for the episode.When asked which chaser he would like to face, Kieron blasted: “I’d like to face Shaun because he’s statistically the worst player.”After a round of awkward laughs from the rest on the players, Bradley then left Kieron and the entire set feeling red faced as Shaun appeared as The Chaser and threw daggers at Kieron as he took his seat.The stony-faced Chaser responded: "He's right. He's not wrong.

Good Morning Britain turned tense as Richard Madeley took aim at Lorraine star Christine Lampard on Wednesday's episode - April 13.The TV veteran, 65, seemingly couldn't wait for Lorraine Kelly to return to her usual post as he told footballs star Frank Lampard's wife it appeared as though the usual host had "been away forever".This seemed to annoy Ranvir Singh - who also occasionally fills in for the Scottish host when she in on holiday - lunging to Christine's defence, she blasted her co-star as "rude".The former Loose Women star did chuckle along before hitting back with: "I'm doing my best to cover, I promise Richard I won't bore you."Richard said: "Christine's in for Lorraine at 9am," before adding: "Gosh Lorraine's been away forever."There was a moment of awkwardness as Christine began to laugh on-screen. Ranvir stepped in: "Hang on a minute, you know me and Christine do a very good job."Addressing her co-star who had joined via video link, the Strictly Come Dancing star blurted: "He's rude isn't he."Christine chimed in, explaining: "I'm trying my best here to hold it all together."Digging a hole for himself, Richard commented: "I just wondered where she had gone as it seemed like she'd been gone forever."This is a live TV story and is being constantly updated.

Richard Madeley, 65, said he heard Judy “slam” the phone down following a call with her obstetrician.

Bradley Walsh was lost for words during the latest episode of The Chase after a question left him rather red-faced.The primetime presenter could hardly contain his laughter when a player was asked something with a variety of options which could be seen as rude.While faced with the chaser in the second round, player Nick was asked: "The Breakfast food known in Scotland as 'tattie scones ' go by what name in Ireland?"Nick was then presented with the options, "Fadge", "Menge", or "Clonge."But after reading the options, Brad's facial expressions were far from impressed while admitting that he wanted to "get out of here". Fans at home couldn't help but see the funny side to it all and quickly rushed to the comment section to share their thoughts.One person joked: "Well done, Brad.

Back in November, Richard and Judy celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary.They share two children, Jack, 35, and Chloe, 34, and their long-running relationship has seen them host This Morning from its inception in 1988 and their self-titled Channel 4 show until 2008.The veteran presenters are now preparing for the birth of Chloe’s first child with her rugby player husband, James Haskell.Richard spoke about the happy news when he interviewed James on GMB in February.He said: “There is another thing that we now need to talk about, and I am going to talk to you now as your father-in-law.“It’s about my daughter Chloe, your wife, what do you want to tell us?”James beamed as he confirmed: “Chloe and I are expecting our first child.

Ranvir Singh was forced to apologise to Christine Lampard after they'd suffered an error on Good Morning Britain that would have left the Lorraine star's mum "in panic". The 44-year-old TV star had attempted to connect with Christine - who was supposed to be in the hosting chair on Lorraine but it seemed technology wasn't playing ball on Tuesday's episode (April 12).After the break, an apologetic Ranvir said sorry to Frank Lampard's wife, explaining that the blunder had been a fault at their own end.Christine chirped back thanking the former Strictly Come Dancing star for the update, adding that her mum would have been worried.Updating fans, Ranvir explained: "Now I teased you with Christine a moment ago, she is now in the hot seat."The former political correspondent added: "It was our fault, you were there all the time apparently."Laughing, Christine chirped in: "Look you'll give my mum an absolute panic, she'll be thinking 'well why isn't she there?'"Setting the record straight, Christine said: "I am here, all is well."Meanwhile, fans of the ITV programme were unimpressed with co-star Richard Madeley's update on Britney Spears' pregnancy.

That was one of the greatest head to heads I have ever taken part in.”Darishka’s team mates Fran from Bristol, Ben from London and Matthew from Sheffield cheered the competitor on as she beat the chaser.When Fran was asked what she would do with the prize money, the retired woman replied she would buy a "stand up surfboard, or maybe some snow boots or skis'," which encouraged chuckles from the audience.Not only did other panellists cheer Darishka on, but viewers took to Twitter to discuss her achievement, and show just how impressed they really were with her knowledge that made up most of their hefty prize fund.One user said: “Don’t care if she blagged it, just nice to see someone go high ad get through.

That's okay, is it?The presenter appeared to receive approval from [Producer] Owen issues an okay to continue."I don't know what to say about that," chimed in a shocked Ranvir."It's not a dress I'd go for but if a producer extraordinaire says that's okay at 12 minutes past seven in the Easter holidays then so be it," she added.It seemed Ranvir was correct to cross examine ITV chiefs over airing the racy gown as comments on Twitter flooded in.One person quipped: "That dress stopped Madeley in his tracks.
