The Chase fans smitten with 'gorgeous' guest as she's branded 'as good as The Beast'

A guest on The Chase has left viewers swooning.

"Gorgeous" Anna, 47, had them scratching their heads as they insisted she looked years younger.

She stepped up to the Cash Builder round across from host Bradley Walsh after teammate Perry had made it back and Ros was eliminated.

And after she put on a good show, Chaser Paul "The Sinnerman" Sinha made her a higher offer of £15,000.

Anna conferred with her team, accepted the offer, and beat brainbox Paul to the finish line.

Bradley was left stunned by her knowledge, commending her as a "super player."

Fans, meanwhile, were just as impressed - and just as smitten with her.

"Anna is a very very good looking lady," one bluntly wrote.

Another shared a gif of actor James McAvoy fanning himself in a film, gushing: "Anna. She'd get my offer."

"Good looking and clever," a third observed.

"Anna looks young," another reckoned, "Definitely not 47?!"

Others compared her to celeb chef Nigella Lawson, one noting: "Anna's got a bit of the Nigella about her..."

And proving her intellectual chops, she brought back the £15K to her team.

She even earned Paul's approval after impressing the quiz maestro.

"You're a very special talent," he praised, "One day, you're going to be good enough to do what [fellow Chaser Mark Labbett] does."

Paul's one of six Chasers.

The others are Shaun Wallace, Mark Labbett, Anne Hegerty, Jenny Ryan and newcomer Darragh Ennis.

Paul won't be involved in the next series of spin-off Beat The Chasers due to him being unwell during filming.

The contestants this evening were socially distanced as part of ITV's commitment to Covid safety measures.

*The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV.
