ITV The Chase's Mark Labbett unhappy as he recognises contestant

The Chase's Mark Labbett wasn't happy on the episode aired today as he recognised a contestant on the show.

Sophie, Tony, Ben and James were on The Chase hoping to win big, but first they would have to face The Beast.

Tony was up first, securing a solid £6,000 for the team in the cash-builder.

Next was Ben, but before he even managed to introduce himself to Bradley Walsh, The Beast cut in.

Mark said: "He's got form with national quizzes."

In shock, fellow ontestant Sophie said: "He knows you Ben."

Prior to the cash-builder, Bradley asked Ben what The Beast meant.

Ben revealed he is a big fan of quizzes and has appeared on a number of different game shows before.

His experience appeared to pay off, as Ben won £9,000 for his team.

Nor did Ben have any trouble during the head-to-head, as he sailed through to the final round.

Viewers took to Twitter, amazed with Ben's ability.

Shivii said: "Beast is relieved lol."

Anna tweeted: "Ooh The Beast didn’t sound pleased that Ben the Bandit was there."

Jamonda said: "Mark is so easily intimidated by a good contestant."

But despite the team scoring 22 in the final round, it wasn't enough to beat The Beast who caught them with six seconds to go.

*Tonight's episode is a repeat.
