The Chase fans divided as they 'recognise' contestant

Many The Chase fans thought a contestant in the latest episode looked familiar as they tuned in on Wednesday.

As ever, Bradley Walsh welcomed four new players to the ITV studio, and while they had never met before they teamed up to take on one of the UK's biggest brains. All that stood in between them and potentially thousands of pounds, was a Chaser.

Today it was Anne Hegerty's turn to put her huge quizzing knowledge to use, and Chris from Swansea, Callum from Fife, Sue from Gloucestershire, and Emily from Carlisle, took it in turns to go up against The Governess.

Chris was up first, and despite answering an impressive seven questions correctly in his cash-builder round, he was caught by the Chaser and sent home empty-handed.

It was zookeeper Callum's turn next and as he was introduced to viewers by host Bradley, many thought they "recognised him". On X, formerly Twitter, Angie said: "Wondered where I recognised Callum from #TheChase", and added a gif of Prince Harry.

@R3TROBOY also shared a photo of Prince Harry, however Liam shared a photo of Freddie Flintoff and said: "Callum plays cricket when is not zookeeping?" And Steve thought Callum looked like Coronation Street's Gary Windass actor Mikey North.

Sadly for Callum he was caught by The Governess and forced to leave the show.

The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV and ITVX
