Joe Sugg was informed by Bradley Walsh that he had the opportunity to \u201cmake history\u201d on the latest celebrity special of The Chase, when he banked a massive cash sum of \u00a3201,000 for his team.<\/p>\n

The former YouTuber and TV personality was playing alongside singer Myles Stephenson, ex-footballer David James and ITV newsreader Lucrezia Millarini on the popular quiz show fronted by Bradley Walsh.<\/p>\n

When it came time for him to step up, Sugg built up an impressive \u00a38,000 in the preliminary cash-builder round, before upping that to the eye-watering \u00a3201,000 after accepting an audacious offer from Chaser Paul Sinha.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I go for the [the high offer] it could make a viral moment, which is a good thing. It\u2019d be an incredible amount for charity as well,\u201d responded Sugg as he agreed to take a step closer to the Chaser in exchange for the jackpot.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish you luck. You\u2019re gonna make history here, mate,\u201d host Walsh informed him. \u201cIf you go though, you\u2019re making history.\u201d<\/p>

Sugg stormed back with the money, bringing his team\u2019s total prize pot to \u00a3213,000, leaving viewers on the edge of their seat as the remaining contestants faced off against Sinha once more in the final chase (alas, Millarini was eliminated during her round).<\/p>\n

In the end, their 18 answers proved not enough breathing room as the so-called Sinnerman easily caught up with them with 30 seconds to spare, crushing Sugg and co.\u2019s chance to take home the prize for their respective charities.<\/p>\n

In typical Celebrity Chase fashion, each contestant still walked away with \u00a31,000 for their chosen charity, however, meaning there was still something to celebrate at the end of the day.<\/p>\n

Sugg rose to prominence on the internet, accumulating a massive following on YouTube under the pseudonym Thatcher Joe, before breaking into the mainstream following a stint on Strictly Come Dancing \u2013 placing joint second in 2018.<\/p>\n

The influencer remains in a relationship with Strictly professional Dianne Buswell, who he was partnered up with, and recently congratulated her on Instagram<\/a> for another near-win with EastEnders star Bobby Brazier<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cYou may not have won the trophy, but you won the nations heart last night and over the course of the series and really showed everyone what you can achieve.\u201d<\/p>\n
