Shaun Wallace shared a hilarious spin on what he thinks of his "mad" fellow co-star Bradley Walsh.
The Chase, which first aired on ITV back in 2009, has been a huge hit among many viewers across the UK. Shaun first hit TV screens in 2004 when he appeared and won Mastermind before establishing himself as one of the Chasers.
Now having worked with presenter Bradley on the show for many years, he poked fun at his co-star in a light-hearted video online. He can be seen standing among trees in a wooded area while wearing a neon lime green top and jeans.
He told his 98,100 followers: "There's no great genius without some touch of madness. Now, some people may say Bradley Walsh is a genius - I just think he's mad.' He then gave the camera a thumbs up and added: 'Cheers, Brad.' In the caption accompanying the clip, Shaun penned: 'Let's face it, Brad's no genius apart from at corpsing."
Corpsing is a common term in film, television and theatre and is used to describe the moment an actor breaks character by laughing. The term is believed to have originated and become popular as a result of actors who kept laughing while their character was supposed to be a corpse.
Bradley is famous for erupting into fits of laughter at certain questions on The Chase, typically delighting the contestants and even the usually composed Chasers, as well as viewers at home. Shaun's video racked up hundreds of likes, with many fans wishing him well in the comments section.
The Chase is a popular quiz show which is known and loved up and down the country. It first hit screens in June 2009, with both Bradley and Shaun appearing in the first ever episode. It's quite a simple premise which sees a team of strangers work together in a bid to build a lucrative cash jackpot.
Each contestant first has to tackle a solo cash builder round where host Bradley asks them a string of rapid general knowledge questions. Each correct answer results in £1,000 being added to their potential jackpot fund. After this, they then face one of the eponymous Chasers - each one a quizzing expert - in a head-to-head.
This round sees them playing to keep the sum they earned in their cash builder round, or accepting one of the Chaser's offers of a much higher cash prize - at a cost of having to answer another question - or slashing their money by accepting a lower offer, which results in one less question to answer.
All players who are successful against the Chaser in their head-to-head make it to the 'Final Chase', where they can work together to try and answer as many questions correctly in just two minutes to try and win the accumulated prize fund. This round is similar to the cash builder, only this time, each correct answer adds to the number of questions the Chaser must answer in the same amount of time.
For example, if a team answers 20 questions correctly in their allotted time, the Chaser has 20 questions to answer successfully to prevent them taking home the money.
