Scots presenters Ian Stirling and Jenni Falconer star in special festive celebrity editions of The Chase

Scots presenters Ian Stirling and Jenni Falconer have been swotting up to take part in special festive celebrity editions of The Chase this week.

Two special tinsel topped episodes will give fans the chance to see some of their favourite faces trying to beat the famously difficult Chasers at their own game.

Radio and Television presenter Jenni presents the Saturday breakfast show on Smooth London, and has hosted the National Lottery Draws on BBC One.

She appeared on the Chase before in 2016 alongside Vic Reeves and they were in a tense final.

This time she will join Birds of a Feather actress Lesley Joseph, DJ and producer Judge Jules, and comedian Patrick Kielty for the first episode on Christmas Eve.

Scots comedian and writer Iain Stirling will appear on the Boxing Day edition of the show.

Iain started his career as a children's television presenter on CBBC show The Dog Ate My Homework before becoming the narrator of Love Island and star of his own sitcom Buffering, on ITV.

He will join other celebs including the Reverend Richard Coles, musical star Ruthie Henshall, and presenter Kate Silverton on December 26.

The first episode of The Chase Christmas Special is on Christmas Eve on ITV at 5.30pm.

The second episode will be available on Boxing Day at 5pm.
