ITV The Chase fans go into Twitter meltdown over 'time-travelling' contestant

One player on The Chase caused a Twitter frenzy tonight as they joked that he was a time traveller.

Host Bradley Walsh welcomed four new players to take on the chaser - Darragh Ennis. Henrik, Cassie, Angie and Ryan tested their wits on the ITV quiz show with hopes of going home slightly richer.

Seat four player, Ryan, had fans talking as he sported an impressive mullet haircut for his appearance on the ITV quiz show. He admitted that he was a huge fan of the 80's and wanted a car from the era with any potential winnings.

Twitter erupted with messages about his snazzy style as fans joked that the farmer had travelled from the past. Darren said: "I reckon there is a flux capacitor in @ITVChase studios, because Ryan has just arrived from 1985. Looking magnificent fella.....reminds me of my youth #TheChase."

Andi said: "The blokes on this tonight must have been beamed in from the 70s. #thechase". Another user said: "I think Ryan’s styling is 1979 into 1980 #thechase."

A fourth said: "Big fan of 80s? Who knew #thechase"

Ryan managed a respectable six correct answers in the cash builder round as he went on to play for a middle offer of £6,000. Sadly for the 24-year-old player, the chaser caught him and he went home empty handed.
