A new Chaser is set to replace The Governess as Beat The Chasers welcomes a new face to the show in the form of Issa ‘The Supernerd’ Schultz after Anne ‘The Governess’ Hegerty was forced to quit the series. The 38-year-old brain box is a main Chaser on the Australian version of The Chase – and UK viewers will now get to know him as he has joined the cast of the main Beat The Chasers show.
The dark haired Aussie will be a force to be reckoned with as he is an eight-time winner of the Australian Quizzing Championships – bagging awards in 2011, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2021. He’s even had a go at winning big money prizes on other shows including The Rich List and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
Issa was welcomed on to the panel by fellow Chasers Mark 'The Beast' Labbett, Jenny 'The Vixen' Ryan, Paul 'The Sinnerman' Sinha, Darragh 'The Menace' Ennis, and Shaun 'The Dark Destroyer' Wallace. Shaun took to social media to congratulate Issa on his new role, writing: "The Super Nerd was just super! Issa it was an absolute pleasure to work with you again. I hope that will happen sooner rather than later."
