Shaun Wallace is an English barrister, lecturer and television personality who is most famously known as ‘The Dark Destroyer’, joining Mark Labbett and Anne Hegerty on the ITV hit game show, ‘The Chase’.

Before securing his role as an intimidator (aka quizzer), Shaun earned the crown as champion of the BBC general knowledge quiz Mastermind, became a finalist on the first series of Are You An Egghead, and competed on Fifteen to One and The Weakest Link.

When he’s not answering questions though, Shaun spends his time visiting schools and colleges to educate students on the aspects of law – and still has time to squeeze in 2,000 sit-ups a day. Yikes!

Don’t worry Shaun’s personalised messages aren’t as terrifying as you might think – unless, of course, you want them to be! It’s a great way to encourage the kids to do their homework…
