The Chase’s Jenny Ryan hits back at fix row as fans claim they’ve rumbled reason so few contestants win
THE Chase’s Jenny Ryan has hit back at claims the show is fixed and revealed the reason why so few contestants win.
The quiz master, 41, is one of the chasers on the beloved ITV game show.
She’s been on the programme, which is presented by Bradley Walsh, ever since its launch in 2009.
Jenny, who is known as ‘The Vixen’ on The Chase appeared on Good Morning Britain and spoke about the show.
She was interviewed by Ben Shephard and Charlotte Hawkins.
Ben, 48, who works on Tipping Point, asked Jenny how she must feel when the show is accused of being a fix.
She replied: “We can’t afford to let our competitive instinct drop at any point.”
Jenny continued by revealing the reason so few contestants actually scoop a jackpot is because the Chasers are instructed to win every match they can.
“We are there to win every single match,” she said. “We might feel guilty afterwards if we prevented a few extra quid going to charity maybe but you know, we still have to keep up that will to win.”
“We’re as focused as ever.”
Meanwhile, a crew member who writes the questions for The Chase has revealed the surprising reason you’ve probably heard them all before.
Fraser Cameron, who sets the questions for the competition, has revealed how it all works.
Speaking to Radio Times, he said: “Everything you can possibly imagine has already been asked on The Chase at some point.
“There are more than half a million questions on our mammoth database.
“I look at what’s been written before and try to write something in an original way. That’s the hardest part of the job.”
