The Chase's most successful Chaser of all time announced - and it's not Anne
Since its premiere on ITV in 2009, The Chase has become a staple of British telly, with Bradley Walsh at the helm. This high-speed quiz show sees contestants pitting their wits against 'The Chaser' in a bid to win a cash prize.
As of June 2025, there are six official Chasers: Mark Labbett, Shaun Wallace, Anne Hegerty, Paul Sinha, Jenny Ryan and Darragh Ennis.
Each Chaser has their own moniker and has risen to fame since the show's inception, also appearing in the ITV spin-off, Beat the Chasers.
But who is the top Chaser on the box?
New research by Betway has looked at factors such as accuracy, win rate, and highest target caught, to determine the best Chaser of all time. When it comes to financial success, Paul Sinha takes the crown.
Paul 'The Sinnerman' Sinha boasts a 78 percent win rate across 436 appearances on The Chase.
His average target to beat is 19 and he holds the highest average Chaser win total, raking in £14,651, making him the most financially successful chaser on the show, according to the Express, reports Bristol Live.
Meanwhile, Mark 'The Beast' Labbett has a 76 percent win rate over 475 episodes since his debut in 2009. Labbett holds the record for the highest average target to beat, at 20, and the highest accuracy in the final chase, answering 83% of questions correctly.
Anne 'The Governess' Hegerty is considered the top Chaser on telly, boasting 467 appearances and a win rate of 79% - the joint highest of any Chaser.
In the final chase, she averages 13 correct answers within the 60-second timeframe, with an average target of 19, the second highest among her colleagues.
So, who's the most successful chaser on The Chase?
Here's a detailed comparison between Anne, Paul, and Mark:.
Newbie Darragh 'The Menace' Ennis has made a strong start after 81 appearances, with a 78 percent win rate and a highest final chase target of 23.

Bullseye creator in clever business move that could make him a fortune after success of ITV reboot
THE creator of darts game show Bullseye is cashing in with a new range of merchandise. The 1980s telly classic has landed new fans thanks to an ITV reboot. 2 The creator of darts game show Bullseye is cashing in with a new range of merchandise 2 Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff has received rave reviews for his hosting of the show Credit: ITV Andrew Wood has now applied to trademark the name across everything from aftershave and jewellery to clothing and chocolates. The original consolation prize merchandise given away on the show was a tankard for men or silver goblet for women, a bendy rubber doll of the show's brown bull mascot 'Bully' and chalk holders. Mr Wood's paperwork was lodged on July 9. It extends to mobile phone apps and computer games — an avenue that could generate huge income for his Bullseye Group Ltd. Quirkier options covered by the trademark include sandwich toasters, fairy lights, laundry bins, berets and cuticle clippers. Trademarks have not, however, been sought for the show's star prizes of speedboats or caravans. Bullseye originally ran for 13 series under host Jim Bowen from 1981-1996. ITV revived the much-loved show last year for a Christmas special, hosted by Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff and following a spike in interest in darts led by teen sensation Luke Littler. Following rave reviews for Freddie's efforts, ITV has commissioned a full run which will air this year. Freddie said: 'I love the darts. Bullseye was one of my favourite shows as a kid. You can't beat a bit of Bully!'

Bring Her Back star has an insanely famous grandad and fans are only just realising
We'd love to be a fly on the wall at their family get togethers The Philippou brothers' highly-anticipated horror film Bring Her Back is out in the UK tomorrow (July 26), two years on from their critically-acclaimed cinematic debut, Talk To Me. Bring Her Back tells the story of two siblings, Piper and Andy, who are fostered following the untimely death of their father. However, their new caregiver Laura (Sally Hawkins) is still grieving the loss of her own daughter, and acts in increasingly odd ways after their arrival at her home. Among the cast are rising Australian stars Jonah Wren Phillips (Sweet Tooth) and Sora Wong, alongside British actor Billy Barratt. Billy, who plays Andy in the film, may already look familiar to some due to his long list of acting credits which includes appearances in Kraven the Hunter, Sharknado 5 and Invasion. He became the youngest actor ever to win an International Emmy Award for Best Actor when he was just 13 thanks to his role in BBC drama, Responsible Child. However, what fans may not know is that Billy has an insanely famous grandad. The star is related to Welsh music icon Shakin' Stevens (real name Michael Barratt). The music legend's hits include Merry Christmas Everyone, Because I Love You and Give Me Your Heart Tonight. He isn't the only famous family member either. Billy's dad is a sought-after mix engineer called Dean James Barratt who has worked across film and TV and with some big music acts too, including Jess Glynne and Craig David. Shaky, as he is known by fans, is Dean's dad. Meanwhile Billy's mum is also a famous face. Carolyn Owlett is a model, TV and radio host and singer in The 411. She also takes on the role of manager for Billy. Ahead of Bring Her Back's UK release, Billy shared how he got into the mindset for his character Andy. In an interview with Deadline, he revealed: "There were moments where Danny [Philippou] would basically lock me in a room by myself, and he goes, 'Just try and get in character.' "He shut the door, I'm not allowed to leave. I ended up just sitting there with no phone, no nothing — which is great, by the way. I just sat there for ages, and then when I came back outside of that door, back into the scene … you just feel like you are there are in it." He admitted that the technique had actually developed him as an actor, adding: "Seeing the effect it had actually helped me so much, not just in the script but in future projects as well. So thank you, Danny." Bring Her Back releases in UK cinemas July 26
