Host Bradley Walsh tends to be a stable and calming influence on the perennially popular quiz show The Chase, but even he couldn't contain his mirth at some of the more ridiciulous answers contestants have given over the years.

A video compilation of the blunders shows Walsh doubled over with laughter and wiping away tears at some of the responses, The Scottish Sun reports.

After posing the question: "In 2017 which Hollywood star was made a dame at the age of 100?" the contestant replies: Joan Collins.

Bradley supplies him with the correct answer — Olivia De Havilland — and moves on to the next question, but finds himself unable to continue and snorts with laughter as the full weight of the contestant's wrong answer hits him.

"It took a while to sink in," he says, through tears. "She'll be thrilled."

Other false answers saw contestants classify elephants as humped animals, imply that UK Prime Minister Tony Blair attended an all-women's college and identify eagles as a symbol of peace.
