We'll be watching even more intently now.

The best daytime TV quiz show in the business has just gotten more interesting with the news that Irish man Darragh Ennis is joining The Chase as the new sixth chaser. ITV confirmed the news to JOE on Thursday after Ennis announced the news on social media. https://twitter.com/bones_giles/status/1250657923040251909 A former contestant on The Chase, he received a warm welcome from his fellow chasers online with Paul Sinha describing him as the "best player" he ever faced. https://twitter.com/MarkLabbett/status/1250683780647526400 https://twitter.com/paulsinha/status/1250690073919660033 Darragh appeared on the show back in 2017 and banked £9,000 for the team during his cash builder, but his teammates took the lower offers, which dramatically decreased the team fund. His new role means Darragh will be the sixth chaser on the show, joining Mark Labbett, Shaun Wallace, Jenny Ryan, Anne Hegarty and Paul Sinha. We look forward to seeing Darragh's first episode.
