About the spin-off

The Chase Around The World is a new series released as the show approaches its 20th anniversary. It follows six teams of two who must locate all six Chasers - Mark Labbett, Anne Hegerty, Paul Sinha, Jenny Ryan, Shaun Wallace and Darragh Ennis - who are hiding across the world.

The teams use their general knowledge, observation skills and intellect to solve clues and track down the Chasers. To win the series, teams hope to be the last one standing, but they must then beat the Chasers in a quiz to secure the £100,000 prize.

Host's reaction

Previously speaking about the series, host Bradley Walsh said it made a nice change from being in a studio. He said: "I would describe it as The Chase… but around the world! It’s out and about. It was very different doing it on location, in these incredible places, instead of being in a studio. I’ve been locked in Elstree Studios for 17 years!"
