The Chase fans reckon burly bartender is best-looking contestant ever on show

Fans of The Chase have been bowled over by a new contestant - reckoning him the "most beautiful" hopeful ever to grace the quiz show.

Aspiring firefighter Josh left viewers hot under the collar as he stepped up across from Bradley Walsh for his Cash Builder round, before testing his general knowledge against Chaser Shaun Wallace.

"I think Josh was the most stunning contestant I’ve ever ever seen on #TheChase," one gushed, "Such a lovely guy as well."

Another shared drooling emojis and raved: "Josh on #TheChase .... WOOOOOOOOOF."

A third even shot their shot with him, flirting when Shaun caught him: "Never mind Josh. You can come and put my fire out anytime."

A fourth lamented: "awww the cute guy is out never mind sexy josh #thechase."

Meanwhile, a fifth chastised their fellow tweeters: "Josh is more than his looks guys and girls,control yourselves! #TheChase."

This comes after viewers were floored by "stunning" contestant Pepe.

The 23-year-old Hampshire native earned legions of fans during her showdown with Anne "The Governess" Hegerty, with some comparing her to Jessica Alba.

Shaun and Anne are joined by Mark "The Beast" Labbett, Paul "The Sinnerman" Sinha, Jenny "The Vixen" Ryan, and newcomer Darragh "The Menace" Ennis, who impressed show bosses as a competitor on the show.

Anne, Shaun and Mark are currently starring in The Chasers Road Trip: Trains, Brains and Automobiles, while ITV recently shared the good news that spin-off Beat The Chasers would be returning for a second series after rave reviews of the first.

*The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV .
