During his cash-builder, Strictly star Joe managed to get a hefty £8,000 after getting eight questions correct. Before he battled it out with Paul, the chaser offered him a low and high offer to choose from.
For Paul’s low offer, it was a mere £1,000. But for his high offer, when Joe heard it he had to take a step back – gobsmacked at the number. Paul told him: “And the high offer: £201,000.”
The studio audience and Joe’s co-stars cheered over the amount – possibly the biggest offer made in The Chase history at the time.

Stunned, Joe said: “If I go for the £201K, it could make a viral moment, which is a good thing. But, also, it would be an incredible amount for charity as well.”
He stood and pondered his decision as members of the audience cheered him on and told him: “Go for it.” Joe then declared: “Doing it for Carol, £201K, let’s go.”
It was a tense head-to-head – especially when it came to Joe’s final question. After choosing his answer Bradley told him: “You’re gonna make history here, mate. If you go though you’re making history.” The TV legend went on: “We’re gonna go viral. I better stand next to you if you’re gonna go through! Good luck.”
Luckily, the answer was correct which meant he made history. Joe jumped up and down with excitement as the audience cheered.
Bradley then pulled Joe in for a hug and quipped: “Come, my new best mate!” Joe was joined by Myles Stephenson and David James in the final round. During their game, they managed to get 18 questions correct.
However sadly, the team failed to bag the huge cash prize for charity. The Chaser paul caught up to their score of 18 and the team lost the record-breaking prize.
