Beat The Chasers<\/a> season 5 starts tonight on ITV, with episodes continuing every night this week, and we\u2019ve now got our first look at brand-new Chaser Issa Schultz.<\/p>\n

Schultz, who appears as the lead Chaser on the Australian version of The Chase,\u00a0replaced Anne \u2018The Governess\u2019 Hegerty this season<\/a> after she tested positive for COVID-19 before filming.<\/p>\n

In a first look clip provided exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a>, host Bradley Walsh asks \u201cwhat\u2019s the matter with The Governess?\u201d to which Paul Sinha jokes: \u201cNo one really knows where she is at the moment, but if anyone spots her, the public are warned not to approach under any circumstances\u201d.<\/p>\n

Schultz is then introduced as her replacement, and explains that in Australia he\u2019s nicknamed the \u201cSupernerd\u201d, which looks set to become his nickname on the British show too. You can watch the full clip here.<\/p>
