When Darragh Ennis first got the call to apply to become a Chaser on ITV’s hit show The Chase, he figured it was a prank. “I thought it was my friends who were arranging some sort of wind-up. But no, it was one of the producers,” he says.

Ennis first appeared on The Chase as a contestant in 2017. He had been on ITV’s Rebound previously. He came second and missed out on the cash prize.
