The latest episode of The Chase saw Bradley Walsh impressed by contestant Theo's side hustle. The social media manager, who was originally from North Wales, shared that he'd love to have a short film he'd written made if he won any money.

Theo said he had big dreams of becoming a horror movie producer, telling Bradley that he'd been making them since he was a child. Asking Theo where he was from, the 24-year-old said: "I'm originally from North Wales but I live down in London."

"You don't sound very North Walian to me, mate," Bradley responded laughing as Theo shared: "I think I spent too much time down south and lost the accent a little bit."

Sharing more details about his life, Theo said: "I'm a social media manager. I work for a competition company, so we give away prizes every single day and I'm lucky enough that when people win prizes, whether it's a car or cash, I get to deliver the prize. So it's good fun. It all goes on Facebook, Instagram, all that stuff."

Asked what he'd do with the money if he won big, Theo then said: "If I'm going big, I'm looking for something like £20,000, and me and my sister have written a short film, so we would probably get that made together and send it around film festivals."

"Wow, good for you, so you're interested in the filming game are you?" Bradley then asked. Theo replied: "Yes, so me and my sister are big into horror films, I've made horror films since I was 11 years old, I've always wanted to be a big horror film director, and the Brits are lacking horror film directors so why not step in and take the reigns."

"Good for you, I like it a lot, let's get you the money to produce your film," Bradley then said. Theo got £3,000 in the cash builder round but sadly got caught out by The Chaser, forcing him to leave the game.

Bradley then wished Theo well and told him he hoped to see his films one day. He said: "I wish you well in all you do, however, you have been caught Theo, for you The Chase is over. Keep up the good work though mate, I hope to see your films one day."

Theo was the second contestant caught by The Chaser, with Susie also failing to get through to the final round. Fey and Alan were the only ones left but missed out on £12,000 after being caught by The Menace. You can keep up to date with the latest TV and showbiz news by signing up to the newsletter here.
