ITV announces The Chase spin-off

The Chase began in June 2009.

Since then, six infamous Chasers have graced the studios and intimidated countless contestants.

Host Bradley Walsh has been there since the beginning, despite becoming a companion on Doctor Who in 2018.

Since its inception, the show has seen a spin-off, Beat the Chasers, which added a new dimension to the show.

Despite the seriousness often displayed in the main show, there’s been no end of bloopers behind the scenes.

And now fans have the chance to visit Elstree Studios and see this year’s bloopers special being filmed with their own eyes.

The Chase has given rise to many hilarious moments over the years.

Funny scenes include Bradley and Chaser Anne ‘the Governess’ Hegerty laughing at a sportsperson’s unusual name and Bradley inadvertently breaking the set.

Clips have even gone viral on social media. On YouTube, one clip in particular has an astounding 940,000 views.

It involves a contestant passing at virtually every question she gets asked. Her three fellow participants can’t conceal their frustration as they eye her unhappily from their table.

Well, this year during Christmastime, viewers will get to see many more funny moments from the last year. With six Chasers now on the show full-time, heaven knows just how many high jinks have taken place.

It’s important to note, though, that the special isn’t the only upcoming treat for fans of The Chase.

It’s been revealed that the spin-off show Beat the Chasers has been commissioned for a sixth series.

Fans will soon be able to watch new episodes involving Chasers such as Jenny Ryan and Paul Sinha working together to thwart everyday people’s chances of winning cash prizes.
