Shaun Wallace has spoken out about the moment his desire to become a barrister was shut down by his school career's advisor, when he was a teenager.

The 60-year-old star of ITV's The Chase revealed the moment during Channel 5's documentary, Racism: My Story. The former Mastermind champion said that he was laughed at by a teacher when he laid his plan for adulthood and was told to forget harbouring any ambitions on that front.
