The Chase fans have accused Bradley Walsh of fixing the show

The Chase is no stranger to fixing claims.

Previously, it's the Chasers who have been accused of favouring some of the contestants over others.

But, in a recent episode, Bradley came under fire for reading out the questions much slower than normal.

Viewers claimed the 56-year-old appeared to be acting out-of-character on the programme.

A number of people took to social media to hit out at the presenter, with one person posting on Twitter: “Could Bradley Walsh ask the questions for the cash builder any slower?"

"Tell you what, I could have asked those questions quicker and I have a f***in stammer!" another added in dismay.

While a third user pointed out "Bradley says the questions a lot quicker for the chaser."

Chaser Mark Labbett  - better known as The Beast - recently spoke out against claims he and the other Chasers fix the programme.

"I have never thrown a question, let alone a show and would happily be strapped up to one of Jeremy Kyle's lie detectors," he told express.co.uk.

The 51-year-old went on to say: "I understand why they feel so, they care about the result. We care about the result. But I can guarantee you one thing, we are always trying our utter damnedest to win."
