Ant & Dec prank Bradley Walsh a second time! | Saturday Night Takeaway 2020

Back in 2005, we hit Bradley Walsh in one of our earliest undercovers.

He was one of the angriest celebrities we have ever pranked on the show.

We would like to thank him.

He stormed out, and he's never forgiven us since.

Late at night.

After that, he said we'd never get him again.

Now, we can't resist the challenge.

The chase is on.

Yes, we're about to hit him again, this time on his home turf, where he presents the nation's best love quiz show, The Chase.

We've been given special permission to take over an entire episode and have filled their studio with our hidden cameras.

We've also hired four actors wearing earpieces to be the contestants, as well as Jenny, the chaser, who's fully in our control.

Everyone at The Chase is in on it, except for Bradley, of course.

Who's turning up to the studio now?

We've taken our seats in the Chase Gallery, where all the producers run the real show.

Bradley's known to visit the gallery at any point, so we're on permanent standby to leg it if he does.

With everybody in position, it's time to go... Undercover!

Hello and welcome to The Chase.

Can a team of four beat one of Britain's finest quiz brains and take home thousands of pounds?

I certainly hope so.

Bradley's in studio doing his opening lines to camera, which he always records in total silence.

But not today.

Oh, yeah.

The louder, the better.

These four people have never met before, but by working as a team, they have the chance to win thousands of pounds.

There's just one thing standing in their way.

The Chase!

What's going on behind there?

You're transporting sheds back there.

Who's that?

Who is he?

Quick!

Quick, he's on the watch!

Who is he?

I've got Anton Dubac back there tap dancing.

Bradley's day is about to get even more interesting.

First up is Joanna.

As our actress Joanna steps up to face Jenny the Chaser, who's also wearing an A-piece and is being controlled by us.

Time to bring on the chaser.

Oh, here she comes.

Jenny, call her Hannah.

Get her name wrong.

Jenny the Vixen Ryan.

Hello, hometown Hannah.

Hometown Hannah?

Do you mean hometown Joanna?

Oh.

I like to alliterate.

I know you like to alliterate and so do I, so fasten off and do it again.

The whole thing.

Again.

Again.

I should have worn my Fitbit.

Off.

We now let Joanna play as normal to avoid any early suspicions, and she beats the Chaser Bank in a very straightforward £7,000.

Next up to win more money for the team is our actor, Andrew.

Welcome to the show, Andrew.

Thank you.

Whereabouts are you from?

I'm originally from London, but I'm living in Barcelona.

I've been there for the last three years.

What do you do to relax, though?

How do you relax?

I love quiz shows.

Well, I actually really like quizzes, yeah.

I love Pointless.

I love Pointless.

In fact, I applied to be on Pointless.

But they wouldn't have me.

Actually, I applied to be on Pointless, but they wouldn't have me, so... Yeah, well, do you know why?

Cos it's rubbish.

This is the show to be on.

It's more intellectual.

I mean, that one's a bit more intellectual.

I beg your pardon?

When you say... Say what?

It's a bit more intellectual?

You know, you've got to be a little bit more... Are you having a laugh?

You've got the best quizzers on the planet here!

Not there!

Intellectual, my foot.

Now that we've got Andrew to wind up Bradley... Is he serious?

..it's time for our team to build up some big money.

Andrew, we have one, nine, 50 grand.

What'll it be?

50 grand.

I'm going to go for the 50.

Good lad!

Time to bring on the chaser.

Look what I've found.

I think Andrew's going to have a very good round.

Lock it in before Brad finishes the question.

The answer is A, elephant.

Good luck.

Here comes your first question.

The hyrax is a small rabbit-like animal most closely related to which other mammal?

A, elephant.

B...

It's elephant.

It's supposed to wait.

Sorry, am I not supposed to go yet?

Well, you're supposed to wait until I call them all out.

Sorry.

I'm just going to mess with Bradley's next question.

Check this out.

Yes, that's better.

Ptolemy was the name of the brothers Farta and Sun.

Farta and Sun?

Father and son, what the **** is going on with this show?

What is going on?

After our little typo with the question, we leave Andrew to breeze past the chaser.

B, moustache.

C. E.

thanks to us, and bank a very impressive £50,000 for the team.

Let me tell you, 57 for 2 is extraordinary.

What a start.

It's almost like someone's given them the answers.

Next to face the chase, it's Paul.

Welcome to the show, Paul.

Hi, Brad.

Whereabouts are you from?

I'm from London.

It's all a bit quiet and normal down there, isn't it?

Is it?

Should we shake it up a bit?

Yeah, come on, come on.

OK, and what do you do for a living?

I'm an IT consultant.

OK.

Oh, the bins are full.

We need to empty them.

Yeah.

Boys, empty the bins.

Back it up.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Make as much noise as you want, lads.

The vehicle is reversing.

Paul, what do you get up to yourself, mate?

Erm...

So I've got games, play the chaser as well, cos we've got that.

What's happening here?

There's so much noise, it's extraordinary.

It's a bin, Laurie.

You hear that, Si?

All right, where's he going?

Where's he going?

He's coming.

Now, man.

Hey.

Get up, get up.

Get up, get up, get up.

There's so much noise, it's unbelievable.

God, this is good.

Bradley's actually just popped to the toilet, guys.

We are clear.

Repeat, we are clear.

OK, OK, safe.

We can go back in.

Oh, this is tense.

After that little scare from a more and more irritated Bradley, we go silent and let the game settle back down.

Paul plays a nice normal round and boosts their total to a very respectable £63,000.

Last up, it's Nora.

Got a couple right here, not many.

What stepping stones connected Ireland and Scotland?

Pass.

Giant's Causeway.

Revolution.

World War II.

Tyrannosaurus.

You can't believe this.

200 grand?!

This is the highest it's ever been on the chase, ever.

You can turn it in, I'm going for it.

LAUGHTER

To go through with £137,000, the correct answer is... Watch it, watch it.

I love the cheers.

You're through to the final.

200 grand.

Oh, sorry.

Oh, my God.

Is she scamming us?

Everyone, is she scamming us?

Well, she knew them.

Me, man.

We have never, ever played for this amount before.

We stand an unbelievable chance now of taking away 200 grand.

We stand, we, the best chance ever.

Four of you, as I say, full house, have made it through to the final.
