The Chase's Anne Hegerty calls co-stars ‘evil’ as they compare her to Cruella De Vil

The Chasers have become well known for their big brains and epic quizzing talents, but how much do viewers know about their love lives? The stars of ITV's The Chase have slowly revealed details about their personal lives over the years and it's safe to say there have been some turbulent relationships along the way. Some of the famous quizzers are now happily married, but one Chaser was shocked to discover they were actually related to their wife.

The Chase since 2011 and was the fourth quizmaster to join the show.The ITV quiz show, which is fronted by Bradley Walsh, gave Paul the nickname 'The Sinnerman' and he has remained a fan-favourite since he first hit screens.The popular TV quizzer, 51, came out as gay to his family when he was 35 and in 2017, spoke about his sexuality for the first time during an episode of The Chase.He tied the knot with husband Oliver Levy in 2019 and the pair have been happily married for three years.In honour of the star's 52nd birthday, Daily Star have looked inside Paul's marriage to Oliver.Not much is known about Paul's husband Oliver as he likes to stay out of the spotlight.It is unknown when Paul first met his husband, but he proposed to Oliver in 2019 and the pair tied the knot 11 months later.The Chase star has previously revealed that his hubby is just as passionate about quizzing as he is, telling GuysLikeU in 2017: "I have a boyfriend called Oliver and we are the power couple in the world of quizzing."The Sinnerman took to Twitter and jokingly hinted that was envious of his husband's skills after he won the quizzes that included some of "the world's strongest quizzers."The 51-year-old tweeted: "Yesterday I took part in three very different quizzes with the opposition including many of the strongest quizzers in the UK, Europe and indeed the world. All three were won.

So it turns out there's more to a celebrity than meets the eye, with the likes of EastEnders' Danny Dyer being related to real life royalty. Who'd have thought our favourite cockney actor would have such royal connections? And he's not the only one, either. Chaser Anne Hegerty recently unveiled her royal heritage and is fact the Queen's 19th cousin – perhaps that's why she's got so much inside knowledge.

The Chase fans were quick to spot a powerful name connection between the latest batch of contestants. Bradley Walsh was back to present another round of the quiz show and Friday's instalment welcomed a panel who all had something in common.

THE Chase fans were left open-mouthed as a contestant revealed his age - leaving host Bradley Walsh in stunned silence. The TV star was joined by four new hopefuls hoping to take home some cash from the popular ITV game show on Thursday night.

What?!!! I want what he's smoking #thechase," penned one viewer at home.Another went on to say: "How the f**k is he 60 pls wtf #TheChase.""I beg your pardon Paul? You’re 60!? No way.
