The chase is over

09:30AM, Monday 28 October 2024

FORMER rower Barney Stentiford appeared on the television quiz show The Chase on Tuesday.

The 32-year-old answered six questions correctly in the first round and managed to overcome Paul Sinha to take £6,000 to the team’s prize fund.

Host Bradley Walsh said what a lovely place Henley is and that his mother had taken him to the royal regatta years ago and Barney replied: “I’ve won it twice.”

Mr Stentiford won the Visitor’s Challenge Cup rowing with the Leander Club in 2017 and 2018.

He said that because he no longer enjoyed the sport he had switched to rugby and golf, saying that any money he took home from the quiz show would go towards a new set of golf clubs.

Barney made it through to the final round but lost to the “Chaser” and went home empty-handed.
