Mark Labbett Walks Off The Chase Set After One-Point Final-Chase Defeat

Bradley Walsh called it a loss of cool, prompting viewers on X to question whether the moment was staged.

Overview

  • The episode aired 18 February on ITV, where four contestants scored 19 to win a £17,000 prize pot.
  • With one second left and one correct answer still needed, Labbett hurriedly replied "cheese," which was wrong.
  • Walsh raised his hands and told viewers the "big bad boy of quizzing is off" and had "lost his cool completely."
  • Posts on X ranged from calling Labbett a "sore loser" to suggesting the walk-off was scripted, with others saying he seemed frustrated with himself.
  • The final chase featured four pushback chances with three converted, and an earlier stumble over Rami Malek’s name added to the tension.
