Shaun Wallace, known for his role as ‘The Dark Destroyer’ on ITV’s The Chase, has been sharing updates from his recent travels.
After a trip to Montego Bay, Jamaica, he posted on social media that he was “missing Montego Bay already”. However, the quizmaster didn’t stay home for long and soon embarked on another adventure.
In a video shared on Facebook, Shaun announced: “Here I am about to board the ship with my fellow travellers.”
He expressed his excitement about joining the cruise ship Borealis alongside Coronation Street‘s Beverley Callard and Loose Women’s Linda Robson, reports the Echo.
During his holiday, Shaun also toured a parliament building in St. Lucia. In a video featuring Beverley Callard, who played Liz McDonald on Corrie, Shaun introduced her as “Here she is, the legend that is Beverley Callard” to which she responded, “we’re very excited.”
Fans of The Chase star were delighted by the updates, with one commenting, “You look so happy, hope you had a great time” and another adding, “Love this so much” accompanied by a heart emoji.
Other fans expressed their enjoyment of his daily posts and wished him a fantastic holiday, with one fan noting, “You are hilarious, really good fun, brilliant with Beverley.”
Shaun, better known for his television career, has a background in law as a former barrister. Speaking to The Times, the TV star unveiled that his current income considerably outweighs his legal earnings.
Regarding what he makes now, he simply stated: “A lot. That’s all I’ll say.”
The 64-year-old hinted at an income surpassing £1m by further commenting: “How many zeros? Well into six-zero territory and my earnings have increased massively since I’ve started working in TV.”
He then reflected on his past, saying: “I got paid well as a barrister but I’m now earning about 10 times the amount I was before.”

While Shaun occasionally engages with legal work still, it’s clear that television is where he makes the lion’s share of his income.
He elaborated in the interview: “I still practise, though, so I have a dual income. Probably 70 per cent of my income comes from my TV work and 30 per cent from the legal side. Everything changed when I was on Mastermind in 2004. Not just my finances, my whole life.”
