    The Chase viewers were left reaching for the tissues after Bradley Walsh halted the show to issue a \u201cheartbreaking\u201d message.<\/p>\n

    The hit ITV gameshow was back on TV screens on Wednesday (September 20) as telly legend Bradley Walsh welcomed four new quizzers.<\/p>\n

    As fans tuned in for the primetime programme, the former Corrie star introduced contestants Rhys, Ann, Bethan and Darren before they battled it out to take home the all-important cash prize.<\/p>\n

    This week the quartet were up against The Menace who made sure to bring his A-game against the wise quizzers. <\/p>\n

    However, things took a rather emotional turn when it was Ann\u2019s turn.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    The retired pharmacist revealed that her husband had sadly been diagnosed with dementia during lockdown 2020. She quizzed Brad: \u201cCould I make a plug for my husband?\u201d<\/p>\n

    Bradley replied: \u201cPlug away darling.\u201d Ann then said: \u201cHis name is John, he is in a care home and they\u2019ll all be watching. Can you say hello to John and all the staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Halting the show and looking to the camera, Bradley said: \u201cJohn, lots of love to you mate, everyone looking after everyone there, and especially those looking after John. <\/p>\n

    \u201cThank you so, so much from myself and Ann. Lots of love,\u201d he added. Bradley then turned to Ann and quipped: \u201cNow are you ready to play?\u201d<\/p>\n

    Viewers watching the show at home were left in tears over the beautiful moment. Many headed over to X, formerly known as Twitter. <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    One person penned: \u201cGot something in my eye,\u201d as another wrote: \u201cOh Ann! What a babe.\u201d Someone else chimed in and gushed: \u201cI\u2019m crying and I haven\u2019t even burnt the dinner yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

    A fourth proclaimed: \u201cThis is breaking my heart.\u201d In the head-to-head, Ann played for a hefty \u00a36,000 – and managed to make it through. She joined Rhys and his \u00a36,000 – making the total to play for so far, \u00a312,000.<\/p>\n

    In the final round, the four players managed to get 16 correct answers. However, The Menace caught the team with 12 seconds remaining – sending them home empty-handed.<\/p>\n
