A well-known singer and entertainer is taking on television’s brainboxes tomorrow night.

Mick Locke, known to many in Carlisle and the north of England as Micky Diamond, will be appearing on ITV’s The Chase.

The 50-year-old, who lives in Dalton Avenue, Raffles, will hit the nation’s screens at 5pm.

The quiz show, presented by Bradley Walsh, pits contestants against a professional quizzer, known as the “chaser”.

The “chaser” attempts to prevent them from winning a cash prize by catching them up by answering more questions correctly than the contestant.

During the show a team of four contestants individually attempt to amass as much money as possible, which is later added to a prize fund if the contestant survives their individual game.

The “chaser’s” job is to catch each contestant during their individual chase, eliminating that person from the game and preventing the money from being added to the fund.

Anyone who survives plays for a split of the collective fund.

The Chase regularly gets five million viewers.

Originally from the Wirral, Merseyside, Mr Locke has played thousands of gigs in Cumbria, southern Scotland and the north west of England.
