Bradley Walsh has been revealed as the host of a brand new Chase spin-off, which has seen the popular show’s format completely flipped on its head.
The new ITV series is called The Chase Around the World and it will take Bradley and the show’s six Chasers global.
This is not the quiz show we have known and loved for the past 17 years, that’s for sure!
Instead, The Chase Around the World takes the players and stars on the road, with teams racing across the globe to track down the Chasers themselves.
Contestants will compete in pairs, solving cryptic clues and demanding puzzles in international locations. Each correct answer points them closer to where a Chaser is hiding.
If you are getting Race Across the World vibes, you are not alone. The similarities are hard to miss!
Here is everything we know so far about The Chase Around the World, from how it works to when it is expected to arrive on screen.
The Chase Around the World: How it works
Forget the studio. The Chase Around the World sends its players on what ITV calls “a global adventure”.
The series will feature six pairs of contestants, all tasked with tracking down each of the six Chasers.
The Chasers are all hidden in different parts of the world. And all they have to do, is find them!
The players must crack tough puzzles and rely on their general knowledge. Correct answers reveal famous landmarks and culturally iconic locations close to where the Chasers are waiting.
All The Chasers are involved. They are:
- Jenny Ryan: The Vixen
- Mark Labbett: The Beast
- Shaun Wallace: The Dark Destroyer
- Anne Hegerty: The Governess
- Paul Sinha: The Sinnerman
- Darragh Ennis: The Menace
The last pair to reach a hidden Chaser must face them in a direct head-to-head quiz.
Win, and they move on to the next mystery destination. Lose, and their journey ends immediately, with a one way ticket home.
ITV explains: “Teams will race each other in pairs, unravelling cryptic conundrums and Da Vinci Code-style puzzles, uncovering buried clues to find The Chasers.
