Issa Schultz, the newest star of Beat the Chasers, has said he would \u201cdefinitely\u201d say yes to joining The Chase if asked to move to the UK version.<\/p>\n

ITV confirmed Shultz \u2013 who is a Chaser on Australia\u2019s version of The Chase \u2013 as Anne Hegerty\u2019s replacement on the upcoming season of the UK\u2019s Beat the Chasers<\/a> after the Governess tested positive for COVID-19 the week of filming.<\/p>\n

Speaking to RadioTimes.com<\/a> in an exclusive interview, Schultz said that he would be keen to become a Chaser on the UK original.<\/p>\n

He explained: \u201cI\u2019d love to explore that Bradley bond. A lot of the success is that Chaser-Bradley bond. He has a unique relationship with every Chaser on that set. I would love to develop my own.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I think it would bring something different because even though I\u2019m British born, I haven\u2019t lived here for over 25 years so there\u2019s that sort of angle of, you know, \u2018Well, he might be good at the Aussie stuff, but the contestants may have the advantage here,\u2019 there\u2019s a different sort of element I think that I bring.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cAnd my character is different \u2013 I\u2019m the Super Nerd,\u201d he continued. \u201cI\u2019m very nerdy \u2013 I mean, we\u2019re all nerdy but I\u2019m particularly nerdy. I like my video games. I love the quizzing obviously, my books and reading and don\u2019t go out much\u2026 so yeah, if they asked I\u2019d definitely say yes, I\u2019d be silly not to.\u201d<\/p>\n

The quizzer joined The Chase Australia back in 2015, sitting alongside the likes of Hegerty and Mark Labbett on the panel of Chasers.<\/p>\n
