The Chase fans left swooning over 'dashing' celebrity lookalike contestant

Viewers tuning into last night's episode of The Chase were left stunned by a 'gorgeous' celebrity lookalike contestant.

It comes as Monday night marked the first instalment of the ITV show's new series, since filming began following the coronavirus outbreak.

Fans couldn't help but swoon over hopeful Tom, with many flocking to social media to react to his 'dashing' good looks.

Others even said he looked the spitting image of one popular reality TV star as purple shirt-wearing hopeful went up against Mark The Beast Labbett.

On Twitter, numerous eagle-eyed viewers compared Tom to the much-loved Celebs Go Dating star Tom Read Wilson.

One viewer gushed: "Gosh that Tom boy is so handsome. I definitely wouldn’t kick him out of my bed”

Another admirer wrote: “He’s the spitting image of Tom from Celebs Go Dating, and even talks like him! They must be related!”

“Oh, wow he’s such a hottie. Kind of like that posh chap from Celebs Go Dating too!” A third tweeted.

A fourth even joked: “I know I’m a man and I’m straight, but I’d reconsider for this dude. He’s gorgeous!”.

And the compliments didn't stop there thanks to Tom's outfit choice.

“I’d definitely let Tom chase me around the place, and especially in that shirt,” one cheeky viewer said.

Another admitted: “Tom is my dream man. He’s all the more attractive because of that shirt!”.

Tom was not only the centre of attention by viewers watching from home, but also among the Chasers.

Even quizmaster Mark Labbett commented on Tom's looks.

“That shirt could be a huge distraction for me” the ITV star quipped before the start of the game.
