And they happened to be on a stag night, so we took the pictures, but the one thing we said to them was, ‘Don’t post it until July because obviously we don’t want to give our location away’.”The Chase Around The World starts Thursday, July 16, at 9pm on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player, and continues weekly on ITV1 and ITVX
