The hit spin-off from The Chase returns for a third series this week with Chasers Mark ‘The Beast’ Labbett, Shaun ‘The Dark Destroyer’ Wallace, Anne ‘The Governess’ Hegerty, Jenny ‘The Vixen’ Ryan and newest recruit Darragh ‘The Menace’ Ennis again teaming up to take on contestants in quick-fire rounds. (Paul ‘The Sinnerman’ Sinha was unwell at the time of filming, and unable to take part).
Bradley Walsh returns as host, egging on the contestants to get the better of the Chasers.
So what does it take to beat the Chasers at their own game? In an exclusive interview, TV Times spoke to Jenny, 39, and Shaun, 60, to find out how contestants should prepare for facing them, how they are finding working as a team, and what it’s like to watch a fellow Chaser get an answer wrong...
What’s the standard of contestants like in this series?
SHAUN The standard has improved exponentially, which is good. They know what to expect now, they know what their limits are, they know whether or not they’ve got what it takes to actually beat the Chasers – and some of them do have it!
JENNY I know the casting team work really hard, but the contestants have also been putting the practice in – particularly in lockdown! Contestant after contestant has been amazing – great knowledge, but also great tactics. They’ve really thought things through.
