“ABC poached him at the beginning of the year because they thought the current chaser panel was missing a bit of spark.
“After a screen test, they found that Mark was voting incredibly well with the US audience – and he was offered the appearance on the spot.
“They think Mark could become one of the UK’s biggest exports lately.”
Mark will continue his role on ITV’s The Chase, hosted by Bradley Walsh.
