The Chase issues update on when new Chaser Darragh will appear

The Chase has issued an update on when we could see new Chaser Darragh Ennis on the game show.

In April, the former contestant tweeted to confirm he'd been appointed as the sixth Chaser.

Darragh tweeted: "I'm really excited to be the 6th chaser on #TheChase.

"I've been working hard on this for a while now and can't wait for my episodes to air. Well, the ones I win anyway."

Fans have since eagerly awaited his arrival with some becoming frustrated by the delay.

But posting on Facebook on Monday, The Chase wrote: "Everyone has been asking about it, and you got a glimpse of what is to come with a look at the new Chaser's silhouette.

"You're going to want to keep watching future episodes to find out more."

They attached a clip of yesterday's (October 9) episode which showed host Bradley Walsh introducing The Chasers.

But rather than finishing after Shaun Wallace, Brad continued: "Or are we taking on a mystery brainbox from somewhere on the planet?"

The clip came after The Chase fans explained their disappointment following a social media post.

Prior to yesterday's episode, The Chase posted a picture saying: "Set a reminder to grab a cuppa and get ready to watch #TheChase today at 5pm. You won't want o miss this one!"

It was followed by an eye emoji and a silhouette.

Many believed it was a hint the new Chaser was on the way.

But fans were annoyed when Jenny walked through the tunnel, with some venting on Facebook.

Shauna said: "Thought Darragh Ennis would have been shown on the episode today, I'll wait."

And Neil wrote: "What a letdown!"
