The Chase's Mark Labbett has exposed a massive behind-the-scenes secret of The Chase, shocking fans.
Mark, also known as The Beast, took to Twitter during an episode of the show to answer viewers questions.
One asked how the Chasers come up with what prize fund to offer during the head-to-head.
On the show, it appears the Chaser makes an offer to the contestant as to how much they will be playing for, with a higher amount being offered for a more difficult journey, reports the Mirror.
But now it has been revealed that ITV bosses are actually in control of the purse strings and how much should be used as a carrot for contestants.
One viewer asked: "Do you make offers based on how the contestant does in the cash builder or are the offers already set out?"
Mark replied, along with a smiley face emoji: "No idea, we get handed them on a sheet of paper. Not our money."
The Beast has been busy with the new spin-off show Beat the Chasers which sees contestants face two, three, four or all five Chasers at once in a bid to win a cash prize.
The show has pulled in millions of viewers this week, hooking fans with its dramatic format and the thrill of seeing the Chasers working together as a team.
