The Chase viewers were thrilled when the celebrity panel won a whopping £140,000 last night (Saturday December 26).
Host Bradley Walsh welcomed in four new stars to play a festive, celebrity edition of the smash-hit quiz.
And like a Christmas miracle, they walked away with over a £100k for their chosen charities.
What happened on The Chase?
Athlete Colin Jackson, TV presenter Anne Diamond, comedian Josie Long and Long Lost Family presenter Nicky Campbell made up the panel.
Together they teamed up to take on Shaun Wallace, aka The Dark Destroyer.
And, after bagging an impressive £140,000 in the cashbuilders and everyone returning for the final chase, it was game on.
The panel scored a very decent 19 in the final, which put the pressure on Shaun, who came out dressed as James Bond.
“My name’s Wallace, Shaun Wallace,” he said.
After Shaun got the first question wrong, one point was added to the score.

And, remarkably, the team got all five pushback questions right.
Shaun said at the end: “I don’t like losing, but on this occasion, I don’t mind because they were a great team.”
