The Chase Christmas Special: Cast

The 2019 festive special will see four celebrities take on the tough quiz in the hopes of winning thousands for their chosen charities this Christmastime.

First up to face the Chasers is 46-year-old comedian Lucy Porter. Lucy is no stranger to the quizzing world, as in November 2009, Lucy broke records on Celebrity Mastermind, raking in 35 points for her specialist subject: Steve Martin.

Kate is also no stranger to panel shows and has appeared on the likes of Never Mind the Buzzcocks, QI and Have I Got News for You?

Kate Thornton will also be taking on the Chasers for the Christmas special. The 46-year-old journalist and presenter will definitely be strong competition, having worked in a variety of careers from writing for the Daily Mirror to presenting The X Factor – Kate’s got a real breadth of knowledge!

Finally, completing the lineup is TOWIE legend, James “Arg” Argent! Arg will definitely be a brilliant watch as he takes on the toughest quizzers in the country. We can’t wait to see him in action this Christmas!
