Announcing the sad news, Bradley said: “Earlier we had to suspend the men’s power ball game when Chung sadly was injured. After consultations with the medical team, the decision has been made that he can no longer continue in the competition. He is doing OK and is receiving the best medical care.”

Chung was replaced by Welshman Matt who faced and lost to Chung earlier in the competition. Before the challenge started Bradley was talking to Wesley and he asked:, “you scored maximum points the last time you played on the edge, are you hoping for that to happen tonight?”

Wesley replied: “yes I would love that and my brother is a roofer so I think I channelled his love of heights.” Bradley looked at him and said: “Fiddler, nice” he burst out laughing and said: “Fiddler on the roof, sorry I just made myself laugh there.”

The audience started laughing and Bradley also couldn’t contain his laughter. He said: “I’m gone, I’m gone, I’m gone, let’s start again.” Bradley then turned to Wesley and said: “Hello Wesley, welcome to the show. Ok let’s hear it for Wesley.”
