Fans of The Chase were baffled during a celebrity edition of the ITV game show – and many were asking the same question on Twitter.
However, the viewers at home were about to witness the team achieve a massive win for their chosen charities – £116k,000.
The Chase: Celebrity Special aired to ITV on Saturday night (December 18) – and it saw four stars take to the podium to face Chaser Shaun Wallace (The Dark Destroyer) in a bid to win money for their chosen charities.
The celebrities on the show were sports broadcaster Mark Chapman, Sky News reporter Gillian Joseph, cricketer Ryan Sidebottom and comedian Fred MacAulay.

However, as soon as the show kicked off, hosted by Bradley Walsh, viewers were scratching their heads – and many for the same reason.
Many viewers weren’t sure who the celebrity guests, leading to an awkward flood of Twitter comments during the show as fans tried to work out who the players were.
One confused fan said: “Haven’t got a clue who they are.”
A second wrote: “No disrespect to the celebrities on The Chase but who the hell are you?”

A third asked: “Is this a celebrity version of The Chase? If so, who are they?”
A fourth user said: “They could say this was a civilian The Chase and I genuinely wouldn’t know the difference.”
A fifth added: “You don’t have to be a celebrity to go on the celebrity Chase.”
Although many fans didn’t know who the players were, they managed to win an epic sum of money from The Dark Destroyer at the end of the game – £116k.

Ryan decided to take a risk and go for the higher option of £100k after banking £5k from the Chaser, and he managed to outrun the Chaser.
That meant the team had the chance to win a massive amount of money for their chosen charities, and all four players made it back to their teammates.
In a nail-biting Final Chase, Shaun nearly caught the team, but he was beaten with just two seconds on the clock.

When Shaun ran out of time, Bradley cried out: “Time is up!” – which meant the quizzing squad won over £100k for their chosen charities.
The studio erupted in excitement, and the team rushed over to hug one another as they celebrated their win.
Shaun was gracious in defeat, and he congratulated the team, telling them:” Well played, that’s fantastic.”
Bradley was overjoyed for the team, and he replied: “What a great game!”.
