It turns out her name was causing quite a problem for many viewers.

Many rushed to Twitter to reveal that their Amazon home devices kept being turned on whenever Alexa’s name was said by host Bradley Walsh.

One angry viewer tweeted: “Jesus Christ she’s set my Alexa off.”

A second echoed their sentiments, saying: “#TheChase setting everyone’s Amazon devices off.”

“Having to change the channel because #TheChase keeps setting my Amazon Echo off,” ranted a third unamused ITV fan.

Another tweeted: “Defo not got the same knowledge as an Alexa pls x #thechase.”

Bradley throws shade at Anne Robinson

Meanwhile, host Bradley Walsh recently shared why he believes The Chase is a better show than the iconic BBC series The Weakest Link.

“The Weakest Link was a good show. But the problem with it was it was constantly putting people down and not being very pleasant,” he said, appearing to throw shade at Anne Robinson.

He added that The Chase “is not like that” and said it’s a  “very uplifting show”.
