The Chase Celebrity Christmas Special | Preview (ITV1)

The Chase Celebrity Christmas Special, where four celebrities, Lucy Porter, Colin Murray, Tommy Blaize and Asim Chaudhry, take on five Chasers to see if they can win some money for their chosen charities.

The fancy dress theme is 'Christmas Lunch', Chasers are dressed as key parts of lunch. Beast is a Christmas Pudding, Vixen is a Brussels sprout, Menace is a Pig in Blanket, Sinnerman is a Turkey, and the Governess is a Christmas Cracker. 

Meanwhile, TV Zone understands The Chase spin-off The Chase Around The World is set for a full series on ITV, following a pilot earlier this year - also revealed by TV Zone.

The series is a primetime reality competition spin-off to daytime staple quiz The Chase. Production on The Chase Around The World is due to commence early next year and will be produced by Potato, who also produce the daytime series and Beat The Chasers.

Details on specific format points are being kept under wraps, but TV Zone understands the show will involve pairs of contestants answering questions and solving puzzles whilst travelling around the world to be in with a chance of winning a huge cash prize.

ITV have not yet announced the series, so it is not clear how close to the The Chase - which continues weekdays at 5pm on ITV - this new format will be, or whether Bradley Walsh or any of the Chasers will be involved.

The Chase Christmas Special airs Christmas Eve on ITV1.
