Brooke's announcement sent waves of excitement across , with one fan exclaiming, "She is great! ! I cannot wait." Another was just as enthusiastic: "She's really a great hostess!".

Since leaving The Chase back in 2015, Brooke's absence has been felt, but the show continues as a fan favourite in the States.

Mark, a star of The Chase, revealed in 2022 that he was unexpectedly dropped from the US version of the show. The quiz whizz, who has appeared on both the UK and Australian versions, confessed he was "gutted" not to be invited back to the ABC series.

In other news, Brooke is set to host Tic Tac Dough, a game show originally devised by Robert Noah for NBC. The format involves "two contestants competing to place three of their marks in a row on the giant trivia board.

"Both players must try to avoid the dragon, who lurks to steal their turns and stands in their path to victory.

"After three rounds, the victorious contestant faces off against the dragon in the grand prize round. Here, the dragon moves strategically on the board to block the player's ability to make three-in-a-row and take home $10,000."

Brooke hosted The Chase from 2013 to 2015. The series was then revived in 2021 for two years and was hosted by Sara Haines.
