The Chase’s Shaun Wallace makes ITV show history with eye-watering prize offer
THE Chase fans were left stunned as Shaun Wallace gave his “highest offer” ever.
The spin-off series Celebrity Chase – featuring a host of famous faces – aired on ITV on Sunday.
It saw comedienne Sarah Millican on the panel alongside space scientist Margaret Aderin-Pocock, TV host Ortis Deley and dog trainer Graeme Hall.
Sarah, 47, went head to head with Shaun, 62, dubbed The Dark Destroyer, as he attempted to test her wit.
The Chase favourite attempted to lure her in with the opportunity to play for a huge £103,000 sum.
He told the audience: “This is the highest offer I’ve ever made on the Celebrity Chase.”
Yet Sarah declined the offer for a lower fee and the team ultimately played for £100,000 in the final Chase stage.
Meanwhile, The Chase fans missed out on their regular quiz show fix at the standard time today, amid a huge ITV schedule shake-up.
The broadcaster revealed both The Chase and Tipping Point will be broadcast later than usual.
Tipping Point will begin at the later time of 5pm as Ben Shephard introduces three brand new players.
Meanwhile, viewers will have to wait much longer for their daily fix of The Chase.
The show, which is presented by Bradley Walsh, won’t start until 6:30pm, after the evening news.
ITV1 are airing the movie About A Boy earlier in the day, which is to blame for the shake-up.
