Former Doctor Who star Jodie Whittaker shared interesting memories of working with Bradley Walsh.
The Chase frontman, 62, left his role of Graham O’Brien in the New Year’s Day special, Revolution Of The Daleks, and was later replaced by comedian John Bishop.
While it seems like the cast had fond memories on set, Jodie – who stepped down as the 13th Doctor this year – said every day involved Bradley ‘k******g about!’
‘There was no line with him and it was so funny… you could pick on him, he can take a joke but he’s also there for you if you need him,’ she said during Bradley’s titular programme Bradley Walsh: The Laughs on Me: My Classic TV Moments.
‘There were so many times where he knew I’d be really struggling with my lines so he’d do something like he’d go make himself a cup of tea.
‘So he’d walk off set. So everyone would go “oh we’ve lost Brad! Where’s Brad?”‘

Mandip, who played Yasmin Khan, added: ‘I didn’t know that. I just thought he was a t**t!
‘He always used to bite his nails didn’t he and be on his phone. I just thought he’s gonna have another meeting about The Chase.’
The BBC sci-fi is entering a new era following Jodie’s exit as the Time Lord with former showrunner Russell T Davies returning for his second reign, and the series also entering into a deal with Disney+.
It’s thought that the show’s budget is now going to triple, with it being reportedly up to about £10million per instalment.
