The show, which is a spin-off to The Chase, is also presented by Bradley Walsh.

It sees celebrity contestants and the beloved Chasers go head-to-head.

However, unlike The Chase, the contestants must face all five chasers at once.

The new series will kick off on Monday, May 6 at 9pm on ITV1 and will air nightly across the week.
