Bradley Walsh shares his demanding routine at ITV, revealing he often stays overnight due to The Chase’s busy filming schedule
Liverpool: So, Bradley Walsh has been chatting about how much time he spends at ITV studios. He joked that it feels like his second home because of the crazy filming schedule for The Chase. Can you believe he’s been hosting the show since 2009? That’s a long time!
He mentioned that they’ve filmed over 1,000 episodes. That’s a lot of trivia! Sometimes, he even has to stay overnight at the studios in Elstree. During a podcast with Laura Hamilton, he said, “I virtually live here now.” Sounds intense, right?
Bradley shared that they usually film three episodes a day. They kick off around 10 AM and wrap up by 4:30 PM. He’s got a tight schedule, but he seems to handle it well. After filming, he often has Zoom calls with folks in Japan and London. Talk about a busy day!
But he doesn’t mind it too much. He said he looks forward to relaxing with a drink and some TV afterward, especially since he can sleep in the next morning. That’s a nice perk!
Besides hosting The Chase, he’s also known for acting in shows like Coronation Street and Doctor Who. But let’s be real, it’s The Chase that really put him on the map.
It’s wild to think he thought the show would only last a couple of years. Now, it’s been 15 years! He’s amazed by its success and how it turned into a phenomenon. The Chase is back on tonight at 5 PM on ITV, so don’t miss it!
