ITV The Chase contestant leaves fans taken aback as he's branded Chaser's 'twin'

The Chase fans were taken aback by a lookalike contestant on today's show.

Bradley Walsh welcomed four new quizzers on Tuesday's edition of the popular ITV game show.

Aldo, Sharon, Tina and Chris were testing their wits against Shaun Wallace in a bid to win a cash prize.

Aldo was up in seat one - and the host was wowed when the former firefighter revealed he now works as a stained glass designer.

The 58-year-old put in an impressive performance and built up £5,000 before confidently navigating his way past The Dark Destroyer.

Bradley later branded the contestant a "cool" player and fans on Twitter were distracted throughout his performance as they spotted a similarity between Aldo and Chaser, Darragh Ennis.

Ollie said: "Darragh’s twin."

Natasha tweeted : "Aldo has hair like Darragh"

Alfie posted: "He looks like the chaser"

Samantha added: "Aldo… if The Menace and Guy Martin had a kid!…"

Aldo was joined in the Final Chase by Sharon and they competed for a total of £13,000.

The two built up 13 steps in the last round, but were caught by Shaun with 44 seconds remaining.

The Chase airs weekdays from 5pm on ITV and the ITV Hub.
