Shaun Wallace does not take his slot on The Chase for granted
The 64-year-old star has served as a quizzer on the hit ITV teatime gameshow alongside the likes of Anne Hegerty, Paul Sinha, and Mark Labbett since 2009 but admitted that he is always "hoping" that his contract is renewed as he is aware that he is "only as good as" his last correct answer.
He is quoted by the Daily Star's HotTV Column as saying: "Hopefully, once my contract ends, they will renew it. I don't take that for granted. I am only as good as the last question I've answered correctly!"
Away from 'The Chase', Shaun has held a career as a barrister for more than 30 years and recently explained that while other Chasers have taken on deals to star in pantomime or compete on 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!', he is "limited" to what he can do because of his profession.
He said: "I do get the offers but I'm not a reality type of guy. I still practise as a barrister and there is a limit to what I will do.
"The last reality-type challenge I did was 'Don't Rock The Boat', and that was a physical challenge where myself and seven other celebs rowed the length of Britain.
"I'll do something like that but any other type of reality show is not really for me. If 'Celebrity SAS' asked me five years ago I probably would have done it but not with my knees now. Yes, people recognise who I am - I can't help that fact - but I can't use my fame to get a required result. I can't change the evidence.
"I've been a barrister for 38 years, a Chaser for 13 years.
