The Chase's Jenny Ryan gobsmacked as she wins Celebrity Catchphrase in record time – but did you know the £50k riddle?
THE Chase brainbox Jenny Ryan proved her talents span across the game shows as she won Celebrity Catchphrase in record time. The ITV fan favourite, affectionately known as The Vixen, showed her prowess on Stephen Mulhern 's show as she scooped the £50K cash prize for charity. 6 6 6 Jenny, 43, starred on the celebrity special of the classic game show with David Baddiel and Hollie Arnold. Wearing a pink cherry-print jumper, she didn't seem fazed by any of the "say what you see challenges." Her cool head was particularly key in the last question with the whopper cash prize up for grabs. The image panned on the huge studio screen showed a large fridge filled with food but also bizarre items such as a house, gold bars and a document with the word "shares" emblazoned on it. Jenny stared at the screen and suggested the guesses: "Freezer, cold, argh. "Money on ice," before she uttered the winning catchphrase: "Frozen assets!" Stephen squealed in delight as he revealed she'd won and Jenny was left wide-eyed in shock, with her hands holding her head. He said: "I can tell you right now, not only in record time but the record amount of money raised on Celebrity Catchphrase ever." Yet would you have worked out the brain teaser? The Chase branded a 'fix' by fuming fans as Jenny Ryan stops £142k going to charity The episode first aired back in 2021. At the time, Jenny hailed one of her "greatest achievements" on the series was "vanquishing that Super Catchphrase pyramid!" Fans were stunned by her performance and one wrote: "You. Were. Phenomenal!" Another posted: "Way to go Jenny! Never doubted you for a second. Super proud fan moment." The Chase: Current lineup of Chasers on the ITV show The Chase first premiered on ITV back in 2009 and has become a firm favourite among viewers since then. The roster of professional quizzers ('chasers') has grown significantly since the show's launch. Mark Labbett (2009 - present): Known as 'The Beast', Mark is a former Maths teacher and previously won £32,000 on Who Wants to be a Millionaire? Mark has also reprised his role as a Chaser in the US and Australian versions of the show. Shaun Wallace (2009 - present): Shaun, a barrister and former Mastermind champion, goes by the 'Dark Destroyer'. Shaun has appeared on the Australian version of The Chase. In 2008, he finished as runner-up to Barry Simmons in Are You an Egghead?, a contest to find a new member of the then-BBC quiz team. Anne Hegerty (2010 - present): A former contestant on Mastermind, Fifteen To One and Are You an Egghead?, Anne goes by 'The Governess'. Since joining The Chase, she appeared on I'm A Celebrity... in 2018. Paul Sinha (2011-present): Comedian and qualified doctor Paul joined the Chaser line-up in 2011, taking the nickname 'The Sinnerman'. He has appeared on The Weakest Link, University Challenge and Brain of Britain. In 2018, Paul starred in series 8 of popular game show Taskmaster. Jenny Ryan (2015 - present): Known as 'The Vixen', Jenny was previously in a winning team on Only Connect. She also appeared in Mastermind, The Weakest Link and Fifteen To One before joining The Chase in 2015. Darragh Ennis (2020 - present): A postdoctoral researcher, Darragh joined The Chase in 2020 as 'The Menace'. He is the first former contestant to join the line-up, having been part of a winning team against Paul Sinha in 2017. A third simply put: "Smashed it," while one posted: "Well done Jenny!! "Amazing performance." SHOW FIX? Despite her strong track record on Celeb Catchphrase, Jenny was recently called out on her own show, The Chase. Fans flagged a fix as she stopped £142K going to charity. Cheryl Baker, Mark Steel, Laura Tobin and Jason Bell faced Jenny "The Vixen" Ryan in a celebrity edtion. While Jenny caught Jason, the other three all advanced to the Final Chase. The team set an impressive target of 19 - while managing to push back Jenny multiple times. However, the Chaser still managed to wipe out the famous faces within her time limit. This meant Cheryl, Mark and Laura were left with £1,000 each for their charities, losing out on the £142,000 on the line. One then wrote on X: "Bradley Walsh needs to stop speeding up when asking the chaser questions on the final round. Bit of a fix really #TheChase". 6 6 6
