Award-winning show The Chase is recognised as one of ITV's most successful series - and it's no surprise that viewers have some strange theories.
All six Chasers, including the likes of Mark Labbett, best known as The Beast, have become household names across the country for displaying their quizzing expertise.
Viewers are familiar with Bradley Walsh's elite hosting alongside the Chasers' expert knowledge to create gripping-edge episodes for the nation's enjoyment, helping rake in millions of views throughout the years.
The quizzing competition series has aired shocking scenes throughout its time - from wall punches to contestants earning incredible sums of money.
Viewers of The Chase have even sparked bizarre theories, including that the Chasers face advantages, to which they have quickly defended themselves.

An outrageous theory about the show being "fixed" sparked upset with a Chaser.
At the time, Mark, 56, revealed that he was willing to get a "lie detector" to defend the series and his co-stars.
In 2017, the show was accused by viewers for being a fix when The Sinnerman got asked a very easy question, but Mark denied the claims.
He quickly came to the defence of him and his fellow Chasers, saying, "I have never thrown a question, let alone a show".
The quizzing expected then said that he would "happily be strapped up" to a lie detector to make truth of the alleged assumptions.
"Social media is great for people's immediate gut reactions but not for a more considered opinion," he told the Express.
"My guess is that people get caught up in the excitement of the final chase and it boils over."
Originally airing in 2009, it's safe to say that the show has amassed some jaw-dropping moments throughout its 13 years.
However, earlier this year, Mark left viewers stunned and rushed to social media at the now-famous moment when he stormed off set and punched the wall after he lost a huge amount of prize money to the team.
He took to social media to issue his apology: "Apologies to those of you disappointed with my behaviour tonight."
"My mental health was shot before that game, it was storm off or break down in tears. A remorseless diet of quality opponents didn’t help #thechase," he added.
His fellow chaser colleague, Paul Sinha, publicly showed his support for his friend and co-star.
Paul replied back: "You should never have to apologise for the crime of “being human”. I’d have been nowhere on those questions."
Much to viewers' shock, storming off set isn't a first for Mark, having revealed his "sore loser" meltdown in 2017.
Viewers were left "crying with laughter" after the shocking scene and Twitter was quickly flooded with jokes about the incident and wondering why he got so angry.
Contestants managed to beat the chaser to win an incredible £60,000 to share between three.
Players Michael, Trish and Terry looked on in shock with host Bradley as Mark stormed off - and made sure he punched the set on his way out.
The host tried to play down the incident, saying to camera: "That just shows you how they take it."
"You need a bit of swagger and confidence when you are facing four players with a head start on your own," Mark told the Express about the famous incident.
"As for bashing the set, I am staggered at the response. For me this is my sport and any sportsperson would completely understand my behaviour."
The Chase airs weekdays on ITV at 5pm
