The host of The Chase, Bradley Walsh, has revealed how he first secured the role that has seen him become one of the UK's highest-earning stars and a fixture in living rooms across the world.
Walsh told Good Morning Britain in 2016 that it was a chance cup of tea
with the TV boss behind the hit show that sparked it all off.
He said he had been with former Head of Factual and Daytime and ITV Ali Sharman when she gave him the pitch for the programme.
"She said, 'Tell me what you think of that,'" he said, adding that he took the pitch home to check it out.
"I said, 'Yeah, I think that may work.'"
