The Chase star Jenny Ryan has confirmed some inside information about the hit ITV gameshow.
The Bolton quizzer, known as The Vixen on The Chase and its spin-off Beat the Chasers, revealed that contestants have their outfits carefully picked out so that they don't 'clash' or 'match.'
She spoke out on Twitter after a story was shared about a past The Chase contestant who claimed producers told him what to wear on the favourite weekday quiz show.
He told how contestants were asked to bring three unbranded outfits with them, with the final outfit selected by a personal dresser.
"This gotta be alot of BS!! Seriously?" Jenny was asked by a fan.
But she confirmed: "Do you mean about the clothing? It's true."
And she explained: "Everyone who appears on any quiz/game show is asked to bring a choice of outfits.
"Absolutely standard practice. The outfits have to be tested on camera to make sure they don't strobe or clash/match with the set or the other contestants."
And Jenny, 39, offered more detail when another follower challenged: "That didn't happen to me on Mastermind? They just said not to have clear logos/branding."
Jenny replied: "Pretty sure you would have had more detailed instructions than that! No plain white/black, small stripes, busy patterns..."
She was backed up by a former contestant who tweeted: "I can vouch for this.
"I had to take five outfits with me and the costume team go away and choose what looks best compared to other contestants outfit so there is no clash.
"You then go to your dressing room and chosen outfit is all steamed and pressed."
Another follower offered more insight into the world of TV.
"I was an extra on Hollyoaks for a few eps..." they said.
"Every ep was different. I had to bring three outfits to match the scene. Indoor, outdoor etc.
"No stripes. No logos. Watches stopped or taken off. It's absolutely normal practice."
And another shared: "100%. When I was on Weakest Link I had to take a choice of non-branded and no check/stripes shirts."
