The Chase star Mark Labbett says 'it's an honour' 16 years after ITV show debut
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info The Chase's Mark Labbett was quick to issue a message to one of the celebrity guests during Saturday's show. During the episode, which originally aired last year, ITV viewers saw 'The Beast' go head to head with the likes of Raj Bisram, Danielle Harold, John Conteh and Roger Black, who were all competing to win money for their charity. With the Antiques Roadshow expert and EastEnders star successfully managing to make it back to the table with the money they had earned in their round, it was time for former British professional boxer John Conteh to face Mark. The 74-year-old answered three questions correctly, meaning he had earned a total of £3,000 to potentially bring back to the team. However, before facing Mark at the table, the quizzer had some kind words to say to the boxing champ. He said: 'Good evening, John. It's not often I say this, but it's an honour, sir, to meet you.' The audience gave a collective sound of admiration for Mark's remark as John thanked him. Bradley added: 'He loves his boxing!' Although the niceties were short-lived as Mark replied: 'Right, that's the last compliment you'll get.' Sadly, John didn't make it back to the table as Mark caught him at the table during his round. In the end, it was Raj, Danielle and Roger in the final Chase as they were playing to win a staggering £120,000 after Roger decided to go for Mark's high offer. Getting a three-step headstart, the team managed to answer 11 questions correctly, setting a target of 14 for the chaser to try and beat. With two minutes on the clock, Mark managed to catch the team with 47 seconds left on the clock to spare. Speaking about their performance, the quizzer, who has been part of the ITV show for 16 years, said: 'I'm sorry guys, the way they broke, either I knew them, or they were so tough you didn't stand a prayer at pushing me back.' Meanwhile, host Bradley Walsh said: 'We missed John Conteh, of course, you needed a full house, and we needed a bigger score on our side of that run, but that's just the way it is.' However, the ITV star informed the team that they won't be walking away empty handed as they'd each get £1,000 to give to their chosen charity. The Chase is available to watch on ITVX

ITV The Chase fans upset as show pulled from schedule for rest of the week
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info The Chase enthusiasts were left upset after the beloved ITV quiz show was unexpectedly pulled from its regular 5pm spot due to a last-minute schedule reshuffle. On Tuesday (June 17), fans were ready for their daily dose of Bradley Walsh and the trivia action. However, the much-loved programme was axed for the day to make way for the Royal Ascot coverage, which kicked off at 1.30pm and stretched on until 6pm. The shake-up isn't just for one day either; it's set to disrupt the entire week's schedule. Devotees of the show will have to hold out until next Monday (June 23) for the next episode, sparking a wave of disappointment across social media platforms, with X - previously known as Twitter - seeing a surge of disgruntled posts. Some viewers switched allegiance to BBC's Pointless in the absence of The Chase. One viewer expressed their switch with: "#TheChase since there's no Chase tonight, it's over to #pointless." While another made light of the situation, adding: "Not #TheChase I was expecting #RoyalAscot." Another fan commented: "Just sat down to watch #TheChase but instead i get [horse emoji]." And yet another predicted a ratings boost for Pointless, saying: "No 5pm repeat of #TheChase today or all week due to Ascot! So Pointless will probably double its audience to at least 10." (Image: BBC/Remarkable, part of Endemol Shine Group/Mark Yeoman) The Chase is a staple for quiz fans, showcasing a formidable lineup of Britain's top quizzers, such as Shaun 'The Dark Destroyer' Wallace, Jenny 'The Vixen' Ryan, Darragh 'The Menace' Ennis, Mark 'The Beast' Labbett, Anne 'The Governess' Hegerty, and Paul 'The Sinnerman' Sinha. The afternoon quiz show first graced our screens in 2009 and swiftly became a staple on ITV, reports the Express. It features regular contestants vying against each other, testing their general knowledge for the chance to bag a hefty cash prize. This isn't the inaugural disruption the quiz programme has faced this year. Earlier in the month, the teatime favourite was pulled off air to accommodate coverage of the UEFA Women's Nations League match, Spain versus England. The Chase also deviated from its typical schedule last week when two Soccer Aid for UNICEF special episodes were broadcast on Wednesday and Friday. Shaun Williams, David James, Lianne Sanderson, and Dion Dublin comprised the team of four celebrities who squared off against Darragh Ennis. (Image: ITV) Meanwhile, Dermot O'Leary, Lynsey Hipgrave, Kyle Walker, and Alex Brooker challenged Anne Hegerty on Friday night to raise funds for UNICEF. The Chase makes its comeback to our screens on Monday 23 from 5pm on ITV1 or catch up on ITVX.
