Every weeknight, thousands of Kiwis tune in to TVNZ 1 to watch The Chase, but have you ever wondered how the Chasers decides the cash prize to put on the table?
Well, wonder no more, because Mark Labbett - who has starred the show since it began in 2009 - has spilt all.Â
Taking to Twitter, a curious fan decided to ask the question to find out once and for all: "Do you make offers based on how the contestant does in the cash builder or are the offers already set out?"

To which Mark replied, along with a smiley face emoji: "No idea, we get handed them on a sheet of paper. Not our money."
It has always portrayed as if the Chaser controls how much is on offer before they go head-to-head but now it is clear that ITV bosses are actually in control of the purse strings.
