Although hit ITV show The Chase is taking a break from our screens right now, fans have nothing to worry about, as host Bradley Walsh has confirmed the show is getting a BRAND NEW Chaser!

Speaking about the show's incredible popularity on Good Morning Britain this week, Bradley told Piers Morgan, "It's accessible, people love it – it's 10 years old now." The hilarious presenter then went on to say, "What can you say? We've got a brand new Chaser coming in for another new series now. It's all good."

Although no further details about the new Chaser have been revealed, ITV have confirmed the new quiz master will be revealed in due time.

Don't panic though, The Dark Destroyer (Shaun Wallace), The Vixen (Jenny Ryan), The Governess (Anne Hegerty), The Beast (Mark Labbett), and The Sinnerman (Paul Sinha), will all still appear on the show!

The current Chasers have grown in popularity over the last few years, with Anne Hegerty appearing on I'm A Celebrity last year, and Jenny Ryan taking part in The X Factor: Celebrity right now.
