Mark ‘The Beast’ Labbett was sure he had answered correctly on the ITV game show, as was contestant Jas and even her fellow team member Fred, who backed her up from the team’s base. As Bradley challenged The Chase team and the quizzer though, he was proved right and as Mark tried to explain his answer, he was left red-faced as Bradley pointed out: “Who got the question right?”
During Jas’ round, Bradley asked: “In 2020, the Population Reference Bureau estimated how many humans have ever lived on earth?”
The 61-year-old presenter added: “I love stuff like this!”
The options were 17 billion, 117 billion and 517 billion. “Let’s see what you’ve put,” Bradley commented.
As Jas’ answer of 17 billion flashed, the comedian remarked: “17 billion… I’m not having that.”

“Thank you,” Bradley answered smugly before he ordered: “So can it, everyone!”
Players Jas, Fred, Ellie and Edward ended up all getting through to the final chase.
Together they had won £25,000, and fortunately for them, their combined knowledge meant Mark couldn’t catch up with them and they won the impressive amount.
“That’s it, so £25,000 – that’s £6,250 each,” the presenter commented as he asked the players what they’d do with the money.
“Take the £25,000, split it equally, guess what – you haven’t been caught, you’ve outrun the Chaser.”
He added: “Congratulations!” Mark later stated: “They absolutely deserved to win. Well-played, guys.”
“What a team, that’s how to play the game,” Bradley concluded as the contestants beamed over their victory.
The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV.
