Paul Sinha shuns contestant on The Chase after recognising him

Paul Sinha was all fighting talk today as he shunned a Chase contestant he recognised from another show.

Carole, Clifford, Ben and Taylor hoped to go home with thousands of pounds after defeating The Chaser.

Up first was Ben, who secured a solid £5,000 for the team.

Clifford managed a decent £4,000 in the cash builder, but if he wanted to add that to the prize pot, he'd have to take on The Sinnerman.

However, as soon as Paul approached the table, he recognised Clifford.

Clifford appeared on today's Chase (ITV)

Paul said: "Eight on Mastermind in 2015, that wasn't very good."

Clifford responded: "No, but I did get a question right today on my specialist subject Eric Clapton."

Host Bradley Walsh was shocked by the revelation, as Clifford had failed to mention his time on the BBC game show previously.

Brad asked: "You were on Mastermind?"

Clifford said: "Yes, a few years ago."

But a hurt Brad added: "You didn't tell me that bit. I'm meant to be your pal Cliff."

Clifford joked: "John Humphreys is my pal."

Yet despite the put down from Paul, Clifford proved himself in the head-to-head by answering most questions correctly and securing a place in the final.
