Walsh explained, “We make three shows a day. We started today at 9:50 and wrapped up by 4:30. After that, I had a Zoom call with teams in Japan and London.” Despite the workload, he remains pragmatic, adding, “It’s full-on, but tonight I’ll have a drink, watch a bit of TV, and enjoy a lie-in tomorrow.”
His candid reflections also touched on his early expectations for The Chase . Walsh admitted he initially thought the show would only last a couple of years. “I used to make nothing but pilot shows that never got a second chance. When The Chase started, I thought, ‘This will run two or three years, tops.’ I had no idea it would become such a phenomenon.”
In addition to The Chase , Walsh is recognized for his roles in Doctor Who and Coronation Street . Yet, it’s clear his passion for the quiz show remains strong. As The Chase celebrates 15 years on air, Walsh’s dedication and humor continue to be the driving force behind its success. Fans can catch him on the show daily at 5 p.m. on ITV.
