ITV The Chase get the Spice Girls back together with hilarious line-up

The Chase viewers were quick to spot a hilarious coincidence involving the contestant's names on tonight's show.

Fans were quick to notice the players names as they lined up to take on The Vixen, Jenny Ryan who was tonight's Chaser.

Tonight's team consisted of Victoria, Mel, Emma and Gerry, which also happens to be the names of the members of the Spice Girls.

As health support worker Victoria took on The Vixen she was quick to comment on the coincidence.

Addressing host Bradley Walsh The Vixen said: "Well Brad you've done it again, you've brought the Spice Girls back together again."

Bradley looked stunned and said: "I've done it again, what is the matter with me why didn't I notice that, I didn't know, I didn't have a clue."

In recent weeks the Chase has seen contestants called "Peta-Kay" and a "Winston Churchill" all put on a team together.

And viewers at home were quick to pick up on the team's names tonight.

Ben Hadlington said: "Peter Kay yesterday, the spice girls today, what's going on with # TheChase "

Sammi Watson said: "Can't believe we've got a Spice Girls reunion."

Victoria managed to get back to her team and Jenny said: "Victoria if you wannabe a winner you've gotta get with your friends."

Bradley said: "What's that is that a Spice Girls reference?"

Jenny said: "Yes, I've got loads."
