He was the first ever UK Chaser, and now Shaun Wallace – A.K.A The Destroyer – is heading Down Under to test his knowledge against Australia’s best and brightest on The Chase Australia.
Shaun is the latest guest Chaser to join the hit quiz show that sees four contestants go head-to-head against a professional quizzer – The Chaser – in the hope of winning big.
But if you ask Shaun, contestants won’t be taking home the prize.
‘When I’m competing I’m not there to smile, I’m not there to have a laugh,’ he tells New Idea. ‘I’m there to win.’
In fact, Shaun is so confident in his general knowledge that he thinks he can even take on his fellow Chasers.
‘I believe in my ability. As a professional quizzer, you can’t fear no-one,’ he says. ‘Obviously there’s a better gunslinger than you out there, but until our meeting, I’m the best!’
While he might appear intimidating on-screen, Shaun admits that in real life he is a far cry from The Destroyer.
‘In terms of my professional career, I like to take things seriously,’ he reveals. ‘But, I’m sort of a happy-go-lucky guy, I like a laugh, I like to enjoy myself.’
Shaun is now working on his autobiography, Chasing The Dream, and history book, On This Day. If that doesn’t work out, a career in rap might be on the cards.
The Destroyer’s first episode will air 5pm, January 29 on Seven!
