Celebrity quizzer Shaun Wallace, aka ‘The Dark Destroyer’ from ITV’s The Chase, will be taking on 17 teams of quiz-goers next Friday evening at the Michael Sobell Hospice 40th anniversary quiz.

The sold-out event will see Mr Wallace hosting the extra quiz at the Michael Sobell Hospice Lecture Hall.

A bidding frenzy is set to take place, as the floor opens for one lucky team or individual, to make the highest bid on the night and get the opportunity to go head-to-head with the quizmaster himself!

Shaun said: “I cannot tell you how honoured and thrilled I am to be hosting the 40th anniversary quiz for Michael Sobell Hospice.

“It will be a fun and exciting night with ten rounds of questions on topics ranging from history, geography and general knowledge, so get your thinking caps on and I'll see you there!

MSH Events Manager Ophelia Chambers-Henry said the hospice was delighted to welcome Shaun to the event

Ms Chambers-Henry said: “On behalf of Michael Sobell Hospice, I would like to thank him for giving up his time to show his support in our 40th anniversary year.

“Bidding to go one-on-one with Shaun on the night will close at 8.00pm, so please get those bids in quickly or risk missing out!”
