Chaser Anne Hegerty shamelessly flirts with 'cute' firefighter on The Chase

Chaser Anne Hegerty flirted away with a firefighter on tonight's show.

Alex, 27, from Stratford-Upon-Avon, said he had been a firefighter for just over a year after getting a feel for the job after helping out with the bushfires in Australia.

Away from firefighting Alex said he loved to play and watch football, much to his girlfriend Georgie's dismay.

But he redeemed himself as he said if he won some cash he would put the cash towards their wedding.

Alex managed to get £3,000 in his cash builder and went to the table to face The Governess, Anne Hegerty, who was tonight's Chaser.

As Alex got to the table she asked him: "If there was a fire would you throw me over your shoulder and carry me off?

"Has anyone got any matches....."

Firefighter Alex had people swooning on The Chase (ITV)

Alex laughed it off and decided to take the low offer of £1,000, with Anne saying: "Oh good I've got him scared."

And other viewers were quick to comment on Alex's appearance, despite him taking the low offer.

Dave said: "Alex??? You had a nation falling at your feet and you've gone low!!!"
