I wonder what the chasers get?”
I've often wondered if the celebs got paid, and if they did, how much.
Bearing in mind they only get a thousand each for their charity if they lose (and I think they have to make the Final Chase to get that), a lot of the time the celebs will be doing a lot better out of it financially than their charities will.
Do all the celebs get the same money, I wonder, or is it negotiated with their agents how much they get? Some might get more than others, depending on how big a name they are.
I doubt the Chasers will get as much as five grand a show. That would be about £200,000 a year each, which is not bad for one day's work a week and two or three months off in the summer.. Not to mention if they were, I suspect Bradley would be getting about the same. And he does every show. At about 200 shows a series, he'd be on about a million a year.
