The Beast reveals EastEnders star who nearly became a Chaser after impressing bosses


EXCLUSIVE: The Chase star Mark Labbett, also known as The Beast, has detailed how EastEnders star Shaun Williamson almost became a Chaser after getting 'very close' in the tests.

The Chase’s Mark Labbett, known on-screen as The Beast, has revealed that while it’s ‘extremely difficult’ to became a Chaser on the ITV show, one celebrity has come very close to making the cut. Sean isn’t the only celebrity contestant to have impressed the Chasers, as Mark admits that Changing Rooms’ Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and cricketer Phil Tufnell made quite the dream team. “I’m slowing down but I’m still performing well in our tests, so, touch wood, if my brain stays intact, I can’t see why I wouldn’t do another 15 years.”
