Beat the Chasers: Nish Kumar wins £25,000
The Chase spin-off Beat The Chasers was forced to a halt following an argument when one of the quiz pros "kicked off" during the ITV show. Comedian Dom Joly appeared on an episode of the show and ended up taking home £50K for charity after taking on all five chasers.
However The Beast, real name Mark Labbett, was left fuming and stopped the show so the decision could be looked back on. Dom, 56, told the Daily Star: "I always win those, I love doing quizzes, I travel a lot and read a lot, I'm not stupid.
"I don't know whether they dumb down the questions with celeb versions, they say they don't... But what I really liked about beating the chasers was how angry they got. You kind of think 'Do they give a s***?
"It's not their money they're handing over'. It certainly wasn't my money either, it was going to charity." The comedian went on to explain that the show had to be stopped after The Beast challenged an answer.
He continued: "They started arguing and they actually had to stop the show. And The Beast challenged something and wanted to rethink and in the end, he lost the judgment and then they stopped the clock again. I kind of loved that."
