ITV The Chase contestant bears uncanny resemblance to Harry Potter star

The Chase fans flocked to social media tonight to point out a contestant's uncanny resemblance to a Harry Potter star.

Tonight's show saw 26-year-old Rebecca go up against The Vixen, Jenny Ryan, who was tonight's Chaser.

The Beaver leader from Leeds told host Bradley Walsh she wanted to take her sister to the Grand Canyon and Harry Potter World in America if she won some cash on today's show.

Rebecca managed to score an impressive £5,000 in her cash builder and decided to play for that as she went up against The Vixen.

Rebecca bantered away with Bradley saying she couldn't translate "Cockney" to which Bradley took offense to saying he was actually from Hertfordshire.

But viewers at home couldn't help but compare her to Harry Potter star Emma Watson, who played Hermione Granger in the films.

Babyface said: "Is it me or does Rebecca look a little bit like Hermione Granger?"

Declan Kincaid said: "She looks like Emma Watson."

LMO said: "She looks sooo much like Emma Watson."

Rebecca managed to get back to her team with ease, adding her £5,000 to the £5,000 fellow player Alex had also managed to bring back to the group.

*The Chase continues on ITV at 5pm tomorrow
