However, earning cash is just the beginning.

The contestant who accumulates the most gets the opportunity to take their money and run.

If they succeed, everyone else leaves empty-handed – so their opponents must try to stop them.

Despite being hosted by Bradley Walsh, Cash Trapped received backlash by Twitter users missing The Chase.

But it won't be too long until The Chase is back on our TV screens.

Chaser Anne Hegerty replied to a fan on Twitter who asked when The Chase would be starting again and said that Cash Strapped would be on for five weeks.

She said: "CT is only on for five weeks, and this year we have TWO Christmas specials for you!!"

The fan asked if season 13 of the Chase would start in December or January and Anne replied: " I have no idea, transmission schedule and recording schedule are quite seperate."
