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.

The Chase viewers think they've figured out one contestant plan to bag more cash from the chaser.
The hit ITV quiz show was back on air on Tuesday night and hosts Bradley Walsh welcomed four new players into the studio who were having to beat the chaser and walk about with some cash.
During the latest edition of the show (March 15), Simon, Eraj, Amanda and Drina all lined-up for some quizzing action and went up against Mark 'the Beast' Labbett.

Simon was first up to face Bradley's questions in the cash builder round but he only managed to wrack up one right answer, leaving him with just £1,000 to play for.
Heading over the face The Beast, Simon was given two further offers. He could take the low amount of just £100, or he could go high for £20,000 and get the team's jackpot off to a hefty start.
Despite his unexciting cash builder round, Simon opted for the high offer, leaving viewers stunned but Bradley reassured Simon: "A grand. That's no reflection on your ability."
He then added: "You're a better player than that," which initially left fans of the show scratching their heads but they soon changed their mind when Simon bagged £20,000 for his team.
But The Chase fans were quickly commenting on social media, suggesting it was all part of the contestant's plan and that he 'hustled' Mark.
@KFraser88 tweeted: "Definitely a hustle there. Like it a lot! #TheChase."
"He definitely played the chaser to get a higher offer #thechase," @teri_k commented.
