The Chase star Shaun Wallace has praised his co-star Jenny Ryan after she announced a new job away from the show.
Both Shaun and Jenny have become household names in the UK, as they take on hopeful contestants in the aim of showing their intellectual might. But off-screen, the Dark Destroyer and the Vixen are close pals, often supporting each other throughout their careers.
Shaun and Jenny are joined on the hit ITV quiz show by Mark Labbett, Anne Hegarty, Darragh Ennis and Paul Sinha. Together, the team tries to stop contestants from winning a potentially huge cash prize.
