The Chasers have become a much-loved part of the nation's TV viewing, so fans will be glad to know that the series regulars will be appearing in this series.

How does Beat The Chasers: Celebrity Special 2024 work?

The celebrities must answer multiple choice questions to build a cash pot. If they answer the first one wrong, they are out, but if they answer one or more correctly they get to face the Chasers, who offer time and money as incentives to take them on.

If the celebrities answer all Cash Builder questions correctly, they receive a super offer to face all the Chasers for a chance to win up to £600,000.

The Chasers and celebrities go head-to-head in a race against the clock, but if they run out of time before the Chasers, the celebrities will go home with nothing. 

However, if the Chasers run out of time before them, they will win the money for their chosen charities.

Beat The Chasers: Celebrity Special 2024 host

As usual, presenter Bradley Walsh is hosting the gameshow. He has been the stalwart host since the show's creation in 2009 for both the main and spin-off series.

Is there a trailer for Beat The Chasers: Celebrity Special 2024?
