ITV The Chase fans unimpressed with contestant's strange choice

The Chase fans were unimpressed tonight after one contestant made a strange choice on the show.

Labourer Gareth, 45, spoke to Bradley about how he was building a fairy garden for his step grandchildren and how his dream was to have a hot dog stand on a beach at Polzeath.

Gareth got £5k in his cash builder and opted to play for that as he went up against Paul Sinha who was today's Chaser.

Gareth struggled with a couple of questions but managed to get back to his team with the £5,000.

But it was his decision to wear a vivid green hoodie that caught viewers' eyes and they took to social media to comment on it.

Jenny said: "Gareth looks like he's popped into the ITV studios on his way back from a jog. I've never seen someone wear a hoodie on The Chase."

Jane Farrant said: "Gareth’s wearing his ‘best’ hoodie for tv."

Paul said: "Did Gareth know he was going on #thechase when he put that top on and left the house?"

And Lassard's Goldfish said: "Gareth could have made an effort, clothing wise. It's not a Happy Monday's audition!"

Gareth's fellow contestant Mandi impressed viewers as she opted to go for the high offer of £30,000.

But her efforts were in vain as she was sadly booted out by Paul.

*The Chase continues at 5pm on ITV tomorrow
