Re: Carol Vorderman on Celebrity "The Chase"
Still filmed at the same ITV building but moved to Studio 1 for the live recordings. I saw an ad the previous week in the free Metro newspaper - I don't know if it was advertised elsewhere - and there was a full capacity audience of over 400. I heard that the other recordings were full houses too.

Re: Carol Vorderman on Celebrity "The Chase"
In the show I saw, the other three were actor John Thompson, an actress called Sue from Coronation Street (don't know her surname) and Jonathan Ross's brother Paul. As to the other shows, I don't know who the contestants were but there are about six shows in total.
