The Chase is a British television quiz show broadcast on the ITV network and hosted by Bradley Walsh. Contestants play against a professional quizzer, known as the "Chaser", who attempts to prevent them from winning a cash prize. As of 2026, there are six chasers: Mark Labbett, Shaun Wallace, Anne Hegerty, Paul Sinha, Jenny Ryan, and Darragh Ennis. It shares similarities with the Australian quiz show The Master that first aired briefly in 2006. Labbett and Wallace have both been chasers since series 1 while Hegerty joined in series 2, Sinha in series 4, Ryan in series 9, and Ennis in series 13. With exceptions for special episodes, only one chaser participates in a single episode.
