THE Chase star Shaun Wallace has opened up on his show future.
Shaun, known as the Dark Destroyer, was the first ever Chaser to be picked to be part of the franchise and has insisted he wants to be the last.

Speaking to The Sun via WhichBingo , Shaun revealed that he will only ever walk away from the programme if bosses were to axe him.
He said: “These are the two things which I always bear in mind, I’m only as good as the last question answered correctly and secondly, I’ll only be on The Chase as long as firstly, my employers, the executive producers want me to be there.
“And secondly, needs to have an appetite to have further commissions.
“Other than that, I’ll be there.
“I’m the world’s first Chaser and I’ll be the last to leave when they shut the door.”
Moreover, he admitted he aimed to adopt a positive mindset when ITV opted to bring more Chasers on board.
Shaun revealed he wasn’t bothered about who was more clever than the other and instead wanted to focus on getting the job in hand done.
He told us; “I was the world’s first chaser, and when Mark came on board, the one thing we said to each other was that I’m not really interested in how clever or good you are.
“You can have the best statistics in the world.
“But if we want this show to work, we’ve got to respect each other’s abilities.
“Otherwise, it’s going to build resentment.
“And every chaser who’s been appointed, Anne, then Paul, then Jenny, then Darren, has bought into that ethos.”
Shaun’s words come after it was revealed which had prompted filming on the show to come to a halt.
He has had a knee replacement operation but is now training round the clock so he can return to the studio next week to “make up” for lost time.
Talking on the Royal Kennel Club podcasts, the TV quiz master said: “We’re filming now but I’ve just had knee replacement surgery,
“I had that three weeks ago, I’ve been training every single day to make sure I can physically walk up and down the plank when I go back on March 17th – as I’ve got to make up my own recording time I’m in virtually every day from then and we start the exciting new concept of Chase Around The World throughout the whole of May, I’m really looking forward to that one.”
