On Monday night, the popular game show Beat the Chasers featured a special celebrity edition with BBC presenter Rick Edwards as the final contestant. Viewers at home were left stunned and proud as Rick confidently beat the six Chasers and won a ginormous cash prize for charity.
Earlier in the night, two other celebrities had fallen short of their targets, but as Rick stepped up to the challenge, the Chasers quietly remarked to each other that he was "very smart." Little did they know, they were right to be worried.
After successfully answering £4,000 worth of questions in the cash builder round, Rick was offered the opportunity to go for the big prize of £120,000 for a whale and dolphin conservation charity. He accepted the challenge and had to answer as many questions as possible in 60 seconds, all while making sure his clock didn't reach zero. And to make things even more challenging, he had to face off against five of the Chasers.
The Chasers gave themselves 42 seconds to beat Rick, hoping that his clock would run out before theirs did. However, despite being alone against the Chasers, Rick continued to answer questions correctly while they struggled to keep up. In the end, with 12 seconds still on his clock, Rick emerged victorious and claimed the joint biggest prize in Beat the Chasers history.
Host Bradley Walsh couldn't believe what he had just witnessed and gave Rick a huge hug to celebrate his win. Viewers at home were also ecstatic, with many praising Rick's intelligence and deserving win for the charity. This wasn't the first time a celebrity had won £120,000 on the show, with EastEnders actor Shaun Williamson achieving the same feat in March 2021.
Rick's success on the show comes as no surprise to his fans, as he has always been known for his intelligence and charity work. He started his career in the media at XFM before moving on to E4 and eventually covering the Paralympics for Channel 4 in 2012. He has also worked for both the BBC and ITV, and in 2021, he became the host of BBC Radio 5 Live's Breakfast coverage.
This isn't the first time Rick has supported environmental causes, as he has been a champion for green organization Global Cool since 2010. And now, his win on Beat the Chasers will further contribute to his efforts in making a positive impact on the world.
