Yahoo News Bradley Walsh left baffled when ITV The Chase contestant tells him the Lancashire area she's from
Bradley Walsh appeared completely baffled when a contestant told him which area of Lancashire she lived in.
Becky appeared on yesterday's show (May 1) with hopes of taking home a portion of a life-changing jackpot. She was the third person to be pitted against Darragh 'The Menace' Ennis in the brain-buster.
The teaching assistant from Rossendale introduced herself, explaining that she is saving up to get a house with her boyfriend, but Bradley was left baffled when she announced where she lives. He said: "Rossendale. Where's that?"

Becky replied: "Lancashire. East Lancashire. A little town in a valley." Bradley then said "Right, okay" before asking her what she likes to do to "relax and switch off".
She laughed before saying: "I'm not sure switching off is the right phrase. I like outdoorsy, adventurous stuff.
"Anything that gets the adrenaline going. I love a skydive, I've bungie jumped, I've done the Three Peaks Challenge last year.
"I think I'm going to have to come up with another challenge now."
When asked what she would spend the money on if they beat the Chaser, Becky said: "Me and my boyfriend have been trying to save up for a house for a while now. It will probably go to some furniture for the house and also a big dog for the house as well.
A surprised Bradley said: "A big dog?" to which Becky replied "A big, fluffy Bernese mountain dog."
When Becky revealed she would call the dog "Big Kev", Bradley chuckled saying: "Of course you would. Big Kev."
During the first round, Becky bagged herself £1,000 after opting to take the lower offer from The Menace. The Chaser quipped: "That isn't quite enough for you to get a big Bernese mountain dog, but it's just enough to get a chihuahua called Little Bradley."
The Menace said Becky made the "correct decision" in going for the lower offer and securing her place in the final after Trisha previously made it through with a cool £4,000. Bradley said: "That's well played.
"Five grand (total pot), you could've gone for it but it doesn't matter. You're through. That's what it's all about. Well played. Great job, congratulations."
"You know, hindsight is a wonderful thing. You could've gone for it but at the time, if you're not feeling too confident, you've come to the table with £2,000, there's only one option. You've got to go for the £1,000."
The Chaser added: "Having someone who has very specific random knowledge is very useful in the final chase and I think that will be worth every penny."
Bradley was left even more confused when Becky revealed what degree she studied while answering one of the questions. He queried: "Did you just say you did a geography and sport science degree? How do those two combine?"
Becky answered: "They're really not. The only link I think was like, walking somewhere , doing sport and you've got a map. But there was none of that in the degree. It was just a joint honours."
Bradley then shook his head before saying "wow". Later, she told him: "Just to complicate it Brad, I'm also doing a masters in psychology now.
The presenter joked: "Yeah? So now she's basically doing a masters in psychology. So not only can she run anywhere and do stuff she's got to think about why she's going there in the first place. It all happens on this show."
Becky made it through to the final alongside Trisha and Dan, who boosted the total cash pot to £12,000 after making it home with £7,000. However, the Final Chase wouldn't go as planned for the hopefuls - who managed to answer just 12 questions correctly between the three of them in their two minute timeframe.
Darragh would ultimately catch them with 32 seconds left on the clock, leaving the group to walk away empty-handed. And to make matters worse, the Chaser had some stinging opinions to share after his victory.
Addressing Becky and the other contestants after the dust had settled, Darragh said: "I think you'll look back at that final chase when this comes out and you will absolutely hate yourselves. You missed questions that you all knew and as soon as you said the wrong answer I could see you rolling your eyes.
"And that would have put you up 16, 17, 18 and me under real pressure and you would have had a good chance of winning the money."
