Bradley, 59, has hosted the quiz ever since it started in 2009. But he's also known for his acting skills and is currently playing companion Graham O’Brien in Doctor Who. Bradley also proved a hit as Danny Baldwin in Coronation Street and his other TV credits include Law & Order: UK and SunTrap.

Who are The Chasers and what's the real name of The Governess?

Anne Hegerty

Anne, who became a huge fan favourite on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! last year, has revealed that she based her Chase alter ego The Governess on a character from Harry Potter!

“I modelled her on Professor Umbridge from Harry Potter, but people say I’m more Professor McGonagall, who’s more likeable,” said the 60-year-old.

“I didn’t set out to be liked – everyone’s supposed to be terrified of me. I’m surprised by the amount of viewers who want the Chaser to win!”

Paul, who’s nicknamed The Sinnerman, is a qualified GP and a comedian. He made a hilarious appearance on Would I Lie to You? last year where he announced: “I’m the fifth ranked quizzer in the United Kingdom” to which host Rob Brydon replied: “All right, all right, don’t boast!.”
