Some viewers of The Chase were left stunned and claimed a contestant looked like a well-known TV presenter.

Thursday’s episode of the ITV quiz show hosted by Bradley Walsh, 64, saw four contestants try to beat Chaser Jenny Ryan, 42, and take home a cash prize.

One of the hopefuls, 33-year-old Harry, caught the eye of some fans who thought he looked like Dermot O’Leary, 51.

The train conductor from Plymouth made it to the final round alongside Maddy and Gail and the trio managed to win an impressive prize pot of £45,000.

Some viewers thought contestant Harry bore a striking resemblance to Dermot, who co-hosts This Morning every Friday.

Fans took to social media to share their thoughts on the apparent doppelganger.

It comes after last week’s episode saw fans brand a contestant ‘a disgrace to quiz shows’ after he played a ‘disgusting’ tactic.

Four hopefuls took on Chaser Jenny and the team hit off with a shaky start after Eleanor, 24, didn’t manage to beat the Vixen despite her strong cash builder round of £6,000. 

Up next was 43-year-old Bev, from Borehamwood, who boldly took Jenny’s higher offer of £40,000.

The Vixen exclaimed, ‘She’s a compeтιтor, I’ll give her that!’ 

Impressively, the sales manager managed to beat the Chaser and added her money to the team prize pot.

Some viewers commented on Harry’s resemblance to Dermot O’Leary while others congratulated the contestants on their win

However, when it came to Neil’s, 52, turn, he played it safe and took Jenny’s lower offer of -£5,000.

But 44-year-old Nick shocked fans when he took an exceptionally high minus offer, knocking a huge £14,000 off the prize pot that Bev had secured for the team.

‘Let’s go minus £14,000, try and get back, try and win some money,’ Nick said.

Some viewers of the show were outraged by Nick’s decision and took to social media to express their thoughts. 

The Chase airs weekdays on ITV1 at 5pm and is available to stream on ITVX.
