Many fans of The Chase would love the chance to meet the UK's top quiz experts, but only a few get to compete against them. However, some lucky university students got to see Shaun Wallace, also known as 'the Dark Destroyer', in action when he hosted their Freshers Quiz on Tuesday, 17 September, in Hull. The 64-year-old Chaser is a British barrister, quiz expert, and lecturer, best known for competing on the show by answering trivia questions.
This time, though, it was his turn to ask the questions. In a video that's been viewed over 1,600 times on social media, he was welcomed by a cheering crowd of students who were competing for a £250 cash prize and a Chase mug. Shaun was seen walking on stage to meet the students, who were excited to face his questions.
He said: "We're gonna have a fantastic time tonight."

At some point, I will be coming out on the floor to meet everybody." In the caption, he added: "What a fantastic quiz night last night at Hull Asylum, Hull University! What a great bunch — love you all!!" Fans on Instagram praised Shaun for giving them a great night, while others were jealous they couldn't be there.
One user said: "We love you Shaun! Best night ever!!!" Another wrote: "Wish I was there," while a third commented: "Thank you for being there Shaun!! We all had an amazing time!" Someone else added: "You make everybody happy." The Chase star looks very different in a throwback clip filmed before his TV fame.
