ITV The Chase viewers realise why contestant 'looks familiar'

The Chase fans "recognised" a player during this week's final instalment of the popular quiz show.

Bradley Walsh hosted as four strangers entered the ITV studio in the hopes of walking away with some cash. They were Tony from Cramlington, Zoe from Huntingdon, Rachael from Liverpool and Renj from London.

Soon it was revealed they'd be going up against The Menace, aka Darragh Ennis.

David was up first again the Chaser. He told Bradley he is 52, and a reverend deacon. He answered an impressive seven questions correctly in his cash-builder, and made it back to the team with £7,000 after taking the middle offer.

During this, viewers watching at home were convinced he looked familiar, and many took to Twitter to comment on his appearance. Chris said: "Come on Ringo, bring back the £7k!", while Ashley said: "Ringo Starr in seat 1".

Graham joked: "He looks familiar, it's not John, not Paul, not George, it'll come to me", and Rob shared a gif of Ringo Starr adding: "Seat one".

Tony was joined in the final by Rachael, who had taken the low offer of £1,000. Sadly it was not meant to be, and they were caught by The Menace.

The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV and ITVX
