Viewers of The Chase were taken aback during Monday's episode as they spotted the "Spice Girls" in the ITV studio.
The popular quiz show sees four members of the public, who have never met before, team up to take on one of Britain's biggest brains. As The Chase fans will know, each edition of the popular quiz show sees a different Chaser trying to catch contestants out and this time it was Jenny Ryan, also known as The Vixen.
As each of the players prepared to go head to head with the Chaser, fans on Twitter pointed out a witty resemblance with their names. They joked the Spice Girls had reunited on the ITV show.

Bradley Walsh introduced the latest contestants who were Gerry, Emma, Mel, and Victoria, with their names sounding like Melanie C, Emma Bunton, Mel B, Geri Halliwell, and Victoria Beckham.
Fans watching at home were quick to notice the names. Rhys said: "Omg the Spice Girls are on The Chase x", while Kathryn said: "Spice girls klaxon". Lydia said: "They're lucky two of them had the same name or it'd have been tricky #SpiceGirls #TheChase".
It's not the first time The Chase producers have showed their sense of humour when it comes to players' names. Earlier this year one team was made up of contestants called David, Courtney, Jennifer and Matt.
David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox. Jennifer Aniston and Matt Le Blanc all featured on the iconic show Friends, and viewers were quick to spot the connection.
The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV and ITVX
