One of ITV’s The Chase quiz favourites has shared his concern over weight gain.
In a video posted to TikTok, Darragh Ennis, who goes under the username @bonesgiles, did a piece to the camera saying “signs that you need to lose some weight” before switching the camera to show a broken hammock.
The 43-year-old, whose Chaser nickname is “the menace” on the hit quiz show, also shared the video with his legion of Twitter fans captioning the video: “It’s not a great sign when you get into the hammock, and it rips in two.”
The confession caused fans of the show to mock the star with one user saying: “Must be that pizza you ate.”

But whilst some fans did offer Darragh words of sympathy, others used Twitter to share some Hammock-related puns including: “Well you can safely say it’s run Ahammock,” and: “Just don’t get hung up about it…”
Other users suggested that he got some diet tips from fellow Chase star, Mark Labbett, also known as The Beast.
57-year-old Mark has recently shed 10-stone after making some drastic lifestyle changes following his diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes in 2016.
He credits a healthier diet and improved exercise regime for his latest diet success, after his weight at one point soared to 29 stone.
Darragh joined the panel of Chasers, also including Anne Hegerty, Paul Sinha, Jenny Ryan and Shaun Wallace, in 2020.
But away from the bright lights of the TV studio, he’s also a postdoctoral researcher at Oxford University.
He recently admitted that The Chase was a “side job” which helps him to easily embrace a good work/life balance.
Speaking to express.co.uk he said “The Chase is only a tiny part of my work life, I spend more time working on my other job as a scientist way more.
“So the end of the week I will be in the lab, so that is way more difficult to balance, my second job is more challenging than that.
“So yeah I just make time for it whenever I can, this is my side gig, I make time for this.”
