The Chase's Mark Labbett made a cheeky plea to appear in a movie role as a film director from the Midlands appeared on the show. Rebeckah, from Tamworth, was joined by fellow contestants Aled, Lisa and Hussain on the hit ITV quiz show presented by Bradley Walsh on Thursday (March 24). The 47-year-old was first up to play and got off to a great start, winning £8,000 in her cash builder round.
And she sailed through to the final chase, taking her winnings through to the group's jackpot. But it was her job that sparked interest with Mark, aka The Beast. As she stepped up to the board to compete against him, he told her he fancied a film role in the live version of Shrek.
