The Chase contestant dies after a tragic 17-year cancer battle as his heartbroken husband pays tribute
A woman who once performed on The Chase has died.
Debbie’s husband confirmed her tragic death after a 17-year battle with breast cancer after a rerun of her episode aired last week.
He wrote on Facebook: “Debbie who was in the chase [Wednesday] and who Sean was flirting with, sadly lost her 17-year battle with cancer last week.”
“She was my beautiful wife and it was difficult to see but beautiful at the same time to see her for who she was.
“It was filmed about three years ago. She was one of the last to be filmed before lockdown.
“She had breast cancer 14 years earlier which went away for a few years but about a year after she filmed this it came back to her bones and then her brain.”
Debbie had competed on the ITV game show in 2021 but sadly did not make it to the final alongside fellow contestants George and Helen.
