The ITV Chaser Darragh Ennis has lifted the lid on what really goes on behind the scenes when a contestant has been told their answer is incorrect, but they insist it is right
After first appearing on The Chase in 2017, Darragh quickly caught the attention of producers and became a Chaser in 2020. He’s now popular with viewers, who love hearing about how the quiz show actually works.
Darragh explained that challenges to answers happen "all the time." He added: "We have independent adjudicators on set all the time." He went on to explain that a company called Beyond Dispute, led by a woman named Olivia, is responsible for checking answers if either side requests it. She works independently from the producers and question writers to verify if the answer is correct.
He added: "We don't care how long it takes - it has to be fair and it has to be right." Contestants are told to immediately speak up if they believe their answer is correct but are told it's wrong, making it easier to fix during editing. He shared that the team responsible for setting the questions has a tough job, saying: "We never stop complaining. We're awful. We really are." He added that quiz questions can be tricky, especially when there’s more than one possible answer. For some questions, host Bradley Walsh has a list of acceptable answers, as people might use different names for the same thing.
