A special lockdown version of The Chase has been launched where the Chasers quiz viewers from the comfort of their own home.
The popular ITV quiz show is currently airing a series of special 15-minute extra episodes across YouTube, Facebook and Instagram over the next two weeks, The Sun reported.
In the episodes, a Chaser will ask 10 questions to fans online for them to answer via a video link.
Each of the mini-episodes will go live at 6pm, with Jenny “The Vixen” Ryan taking on Chaser duties this week from her home.
Not only has the quizzer already shot two episodes this week, the former X Factor : Celebrity contestant has treated fans to a tune on her ukulele.
Next week, fans will get the chance to take on Shaun “The Dark Destroyer” Wallace.
Production on The Chase stopped in February so the lockdown version of the show could be the future if filming doesn’t resume.
Host Bradley Walsh last month told The Sun that The Chase is about “100 shot behind schedule”.
Brad, 5, admitted the crew was “lucky” it had filmed the special series Beat The Chasers otherwise there would be no new episodes to air.

In Beat the Chasers, hopefuls put themselves up against the Chasers in a bid to win big money.
Bradley told TV Mag in April: “We were so lucky because we filmed it back in January. Obviously if it had been a couple of weeks later it wouldn’t have been made.
“We stopped filming on The Chase in February, so I would say at the moment we’re about 100 shows behind schedule, which we’ll need to make up.”
The cheeky television presenter revealed he is in the dark about when production will resume.

He said: “I’ve got absolutely no idea what is going to happen. We can’t say we’ll be back to work in a month, eight weeks. No one knows.
“All we can do is sit and pray.”
The Chase has been on the air since 2009, produced more than 1,000 episodes with international versions produced around the world including in the USA, Australia and Germany.
The quiz show doesn’t film with a live studio audience but contestants are presented in groups of four.
The Chase airs weekdays on ITV at 5pm
