Let’s be real: not all Chasers are equal in the public’s eye. Anne Hegerty (The Governess) and Bradley Walsh are household names. That star power translates directly into salary negotiations.
Rumour has it that the original trio—Labbett, Hegerty, and Shaun Wallace—negotiated higher rates when the show became a global hit. The newer Chasers, like Darragh Ennis (The Menace), likely start on a lower but still enviable rate.
Fun fact: Paul Sinha joked on a podcast that he earns “enough to keep the cat in tuna.” We suspect the tuna is premium grade.
What About Bradley Walsh?
Oh, the host. Bradley Walsh is on a completely different planet. Reports peg his annual salary for The Chase at £1.2 million. He’s the sun; the Chasers are the planets orbiting.

The key difference? Bradley works far more days, hosting both the main show and spin-offs. The Chasers have the luxury of appearing only when they’re in the hot seat.
