ITV The Chase fans fall in love with 'dapper' pensioner

The Chase viewers fell in love with a contestant tonight praising his 'very smart' appearance.

Suited and booted Harry, 74, chatted to host Bradley Walsh before he took on The Beast, Mark Labbett, who was tonight's Chaser.

The accountant from Edgeware's appearance was immediately commented on by Bradley, who said to him: "You look great mate."

Harry said that he loved to travel and also enjoyed ballet and football.

He planned to take his wife back to Sicily if he won some cash, as that's where they celebrated their honeymoon.

Harry managed to score £6,000 in his cash builder and decided to play for that as he went up against The Beast.

But viewers at home couldn't help but comment on his 'dapper' appearance, saying it made a nice change that someone had dressed up for the occasion.

J Sapier said: "What a very dapper chap."

Daisey said: "Glad Harry got through # TheChase he looks so smart in his suit."

And @niah_jaydene said: "Harry is by far one of my favourite contestants ever!"

Harry managed to bring back the £6,000 to his team, after flying past The Beast.

*The Chase continues at 5pm on ITV tomorrow
