New Beat The Chasers Star Revealed as Darragh Gets Replaced in Exciting Show Shake Up

The popular spin-off of The Chase, Beat The Chasers, is returning this weekend with an unexpected twist. Fans will notice that Darragh Ennis, known as The Menace, will be absent from the next episode.
Exciting Changes Ahead for Beat The Chasers
Hosted by Bradley Walsh, the show typically features a core group of Chasers. These include Mark Labbett (The Beast), Anne Hegerty (The Governess), Paul Sinha (The Sinnerman), Jenny Ryan (The Vixen), and Shaun Wallace (The Dark Destroyer). However, the upcoming episode will introduce a new Chaser, nicknamed The Maverick, who is stepping in during Darragh’s absence.
Fan Reactions and Speculations
The announcement of The Maverick has sparked curiosity among fans. Social media platforms like Instagram and Reddit have been buzzing with theories about the new Chaser’s identity. Some fans have been vocal about their thoughts:
- “What’s happened to Darragh?”
- “I’d love for it to be Michael Sheen, who is a big quiz fan.”
- “This has to be Tom Cruise!”
- “Could it be Judge Rinder?”
The anticipation surrounding The Maverick’s debut is palpable, with many asking questions about how the shift will affect the dynamics of the game.
Format and Prize Money
Beat The Chasers premiered on ITV in 2020 and has successfully aired seven series. The show pits contestants from across the UK against multiple Chasers in an intense head-to-head format. In the Cash Builder round, participants have the opportunity to answer five multiple-choice questions, aiming to bank up to £5,000. However, an incorrect answer eliminates them from the round.
Contestants can choose to challenge between two and all five of the Chasers, with greater risks leading to potentially higher rewards. The total prize pot for the show can reach an impressive £600,000, keeping the stakes high for competitors.
When to Watch
The new episode of Beat The Chasers will air this Sunday at 8 PM on ITV and again at 9 PM on ITV+1. Fans are eagerly awaiting this unexpected shake-up, and questions linger about the identity of The Maverick. Will the new Chaser live up to expectations?
