E186: The Chase’s Darragh Ennis Opens Up About Grief, Science & Success

Darragh Ennis is best known as The Menace on ITV’s hit quiz show The Chase, where he quickly became a fan favourite thanks to his intelligence, warmth and down to earth personality. But before television, Darragh spent years working as a neuroscientist in Oxford, and his journey to becoming a Chaser all started because he needed money for a new back door. Darragh is open and honest about life behind the scenes of The Chase, dealing with grief after losing his father, the pressure of being in the public eye, and why kindness matters more than success or money. He also shares powerful advice on memory, learning, social media, reading, fear, confidence and making the most of life. This is a conversation full of heart, humour and perspective, and one of Darragh’s most open interviews yet.
