The Chase is on! Flirty contestant Callum, 20, asks chaser Anne Hegerty, 58, for her number... after claiming she smells of PIG POO
A cheeky contestant prompted raised eyebrows from his teammates and raucous laughter from the studio audience after awkwardly propositioning a competitor on popular game show The Chase.
Taking his place alongside show host Bradley Walsh, Cardiff University student Callum, 20, pitted his wits against resident chaser Anne Hegerty.
After the contestant correctly named ‘Green Welly Brigade’ as a derogatory term for people who like to visit the countryside, attention shifted to Anne, 58, with Walsh asking her: ‘You’re a city girl – you don’t like the countryside do you?’

Cheeky: Taking his place alongside show host Bradley Walsh on The Chase, Cardiff University student Callum pitted his wits against resident chaser Anne Hegerty – after playfully admitting he wanted her phone number
‘I’ve driven through it,’ she replied. ‘I like to know that it’s out there – it smells of pig poo.’
With tongue firmly in cheek, business management student Callum quipped: ‘You might want to get out of your car then!’
Despite prompting belly laughs from Walsh and the studio audience, japester Calum admitted the comment may have affected his chances with the buxom chaser.

I've got my work cut out here: Walsh looked mildly bemused after the student revealed he was after Hegerty's number
‘I’m not getting close to that number, am I?’ he grinned.
‘You’re really not,’ came the curt response from a clearly unimpressed Hegerty.

Not happy: Callum was given a curt response from a clearly unimpressed Hegerty
Taking to Twitter, one wrote: 'Haha this Callum dude is well funny on #TheChase asking Anne out then saying she smells like a pig.'
With many in agreement, another added: 'Callum ... what a hero.'
Full of praise for the student, another raved: 'Callum is pinging out zingers left right and centre!'
Introducing himself earlier in the show, the student had entertained Walsh with an anecdote about his year away from university.
'Last year I went travelling on my gap year and got bitten by the bug,' he recalled, leading the host to enquire: 'You got bitten by a bug while travelling?'
'I did actually, bed bugs,' he replied.
'Who’s bed were you in?' Walsh asked, before adding: 'Leave it right there!'
