The Chase is a much loved quiz show that appears to run seamlessly, but host Bradley Walsh has revealed a behind-the-scenes secret many fans may not know.
The Mirror has reported the show - which films three episodes a day each taking 90 minutes to record, must follow many rules and regulations to make sure it is a fair game. And while rare, there can be slip-ups that result in frustrated viewers questioning the integrity of the show meaning there must be lawyers on set at all times.
The most recent call-out came in December last year when Chaser Mark Labbett aka The Beast managed to catch a team of four - who made it back from the cash builder - mere seconds before they could have taken home the huge prize money.
Another reason lawyers are in studio is because Walsh doesn’t get to see the questions before filming commences - something that occasionally causes blunders like the infamous “Fanny Chmelar” moment 13 years ago in which Walsh burst into laughter upon hearing the name of former alpine skier Fanny Chmelar.
