THE Chase has been a staple of early evening viewing since it burst onto the scene back in 2009.
Hosted by Bradley Walsh, the quiz show sees contestants take on the mighty Chasers, to see if they know more trivia than they do.
On August 31, 2022 ITV quiz show The Chase saw four new players take on Jenny Ryan AKA The Vixen.
Within the first 30 minutes of the show Chaser Jenny managed to beat contestants Toby, Annabelle and Sarah – meaning that they had to leave the competition.
But remaining contestant Dan from Birmingham didn’t give up that easily and ended up bringing £5k into the final round.
He also took a risk and picked the larger amount of money.

And it paid off after he answered 16 questions correctly and managed to take home an impressive £80k.
Host Bradley was left speechless and told Dan: “That is the highest amount any single player has ever won on the show.”
He then went over to give him a high five, as he said: “That was great.”
Dan then explained that he was going to put the money towards seeing his family in New Zealand.
Before Dan, the biggest amount won by a single person was 20-year-old Eden in August 2021.
Trainee underwriter from Hertfordshire, took home a record-breaking £75,000 after he defeated Darragh Ennis in the nail-biting final back
Before Eden, Judith held the record for the most money won in a solo venture on the show after scooping £70K in 2017.
Meanwhile in 2018, four contestants – Gayna, Tim, Luca and Diane – took on Anne Hegerty, also known as The Governess, and won an incredible £100K.
