Updated on

Quiz show The Chase has become an integral part of daytime TV since it first hit our screens way back in 2009, and now the popular show is expanding.

As well as Beat the Chasers, bosses have now confirmed a brand new and exclusive spin-off show called The Chase EXTRA, which will air on the ITV Hub.

Hosted by The Chasers themselves, the new instalment will see the brains of Britain setting 10 quiz questions and answers for fans, every Monday for six weeks.

The new show will begin on Monday 8 March, with Mark ‘The Beast' Labbett, Anne ‘The Governess’ Hegerty, Paul ‘The Sinnerman’ Sinha, Jenny ‘The Vixen’ Ryan, Shaun ‘The Dark Destroyer’ Wallace and Darragh ‘The Menace’ Ennis all presenting one episode each.

As if this wasn't enough, each Chaser will also give their very own "unique interval", which involves them telling jokes, giving quizzing tips, and even playing musical instruments.
