The Visitor reported that Haydock is tight-lipped about the outcome of his episode and which “chaser” he faced.
According to the report, this is not the first time that the 44-year-old local insurance boss has appeared on television quiz shows.
When he was still a schoolboy in 1985, Haydock represented Morecambe High School in the children’s TV programme Knock Your Block Off hosted by Steve Blacknell.
In 2013, Haydock also appeared on the BBC daytime game show Beat The Pack hosted by Jake Humphrey.
Outside insurance, Haydock also does murder mystery acting for the After Dark Theatre Company in Morecambe, according to The Visitor. In the upcoming The Chase episode, he will be seen wearing the theatre company’s red and black colours.
