The Chase Celebrity Special

In the Coronation Street Special programme, long‑running cast members Simon Gregson, Victoria Ekanoye, Lucy Fallon and Andrew Whyment take on the Chaser. Joining host Bradley Walsh, they compete to secure a cash prize that will be donated to charity as part of the challenge.

The Coronation Street Special is a one‑off episode aired as a programme within the Coronation Street series. Classified as an episode‑type special, it assembles familiar faces from the long‑running soap for a distinctive format. The broadcast is presented by Bradley Walsh, whose role is to steer the action and bring his recognisable presenting style to the event, and to keep the audience engaged. In this edition, four Coronation Street regulars – Simon Gregson, Victoria Ekanoye, Lucy Fallon and Andrew Whyment – step away from their usual storylines to face the Chaser. Their goal is to outwit the quiz‑master and secure a cash prize, which will be donated to a charitable cause. The amount will go directly to the chosen charity, underscoring the philanthropic aim of the challenge. The contestants are put under pressure as they answer rapid‑fire questions, trying to keep ahead of the Chaser’s expertise, and the tension builds as they strive to stay one step ahead. The programme blends the world of the beloved soap with the excitement of a game‑show challenge, giving fans a chance to see the actors beyond their scripted roles. With Bradley Walsh steering the event, the special keeps a light‑hearted yet competitive atmosphere while supporting charity. The episode thus offers a fresh perspective on the characters and makes a notable addition to the Coronation Street lineup.
