The Chase board game
The Chase viewers have been left speculating on Bradley Walsh’s potential replacement if he is ever to quit presenting the ITV game show – with one popular BBC presenter and author coming in as the top choice. Over on Reddit, one fan speculated Bradley could be getting “bored” of the show after hosting it for 16 years.
Bradley began presenting The Chase in 2009, before landing spin-off show Beat the Chasers in 2020. In total, he’s hosted around 1000 episodes of the quizzes – and fans have presumed he might be getting sick of the regular duty. One Redditor said: “Don’t get me wrong, Brad is good at it. He just seems so totally bored and over it. He’s just flat. (Anyone would be surely, after doing it for that many years).
“He so clearly doesn’t care about people’s jobs or what they would do with the money. He just wants to get to the end of the show. He can be really funny when he puts in effort, and his impressions (like the Trump one) are sometimes hilarious.
“He’s clearly got great rapport with the chasers and he’s likeable enough. I just feel like he needs to take coke to get revved up and ready for each new episode!”

Other fans suggested Richard Osman could be a suitable replacement for Brad, though one argued: “I just think if Bradley went the show would end. Or they’d try with someone else and it wouldn’t work. Imagine Richard Osman taking over lol.”

Another posted on X: “I’d be interested to see Richard Osman take on the role haha, not sure he’d be any good.”
Other fans insisted nobody could replace Brad, with one penning: “He’s still doing a great job!”
Brad himself has said he has no intention of quitting the show, telling the Daily Mail: “Until people say they’ve had enough and start switching off, I’ll do it. We’ve had such an extraordinary time together. It’s the best job in the world.”
