Bradley Walsh shocked by player's resemblance to pop star on The Chase

Bradley Walsh was left shocked today by a contestant's resemblance to pop legend Rod Stewart.

The first contestant up tonight was musician Gerry from Sheffield and host Bradley chatted to him before he went up against The Dark Destroyer, Shaun Wallace, who was tonight's Chaser.

Gerry, 69, said he has previously played in a band but had now gone solo.

Bradley said: "Do you play our own stuff because you look remarkably like Rod Stewart."

Gerry said: "It's the barnet, I write my own stuff but they pay me to do the Rod Stewart stuff."

Bradley asked which song was a particular favourite and Gerry replied: "Maggie May always goes down well."

If he won some cash Gerry said he wanted to go to Tenerife or the Canaries to get some sun.

Gerry managed to get £5,000 in his cash builder and decided to play for that as he went up against Shaun.

But sadly he was knocked out by Shaun with the Chaser telling him: "Gerry, go sailing off."

And viewers at home also couldn't believe Gerry's likeness to Rod, with many of them taking to social media to point it out.
