It\u2019s supposed to have universal appeal.

In 2019, she broke a record on the show by becoming the first Chaser to answer every question correctly throughout an entire episode.<\/p>\n The Chase continues on ITV1 and ITVX at 5pm on weekdays.\u00a0<\/strong>C<\/strong>heck out more of our\u00a0Entertainment<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Streaming Guide<\/a>\u00a0for more to watch.<\/strong><\/p>\n Try Radio Times magazine today and get 12 issues for only \u00a31 with delivery to your home \u2013 <\/strong>subscribe now<\/strong><\/a>.
