The Chase fans spot contestants 'Neighbours theme' but there's one problem

The Chase fans were quick to spot a connection between the contestants tonight.

Three of the players had the same name as iconic characters in the Australian soap Neighbours.

Today saw Karl, Susan and Charlene go up against Darragh Ennis, The Menace, who was tonight's Chaser.

But the fourth contestant Duncan ruined the theme and viewers were disappointed.

And many of them took to social media to point it out.

Rose Alex Claridge said: "If only Duncan had been called Scott. Would have had a neighbours line up."

Samuel Draper said: "Three of the most iconic Neighbours characters of all time - and Duncan."

Paul Wharton said: "Neighbours theme in # TheChase today."

And Chris said: "# Neighbours characters names for the contestants today?"

The Chase producers have a history of creating a theme with the contestants names.

In recent weeks the team has been compared to British Prime Ministers with Winston and Churchill sitting next to each other, with a Theresa next to them.

There's also been the Spice Girls and a Peta-Kay in the line-up with viewers loving the coincidences.

Tonight's show didn't get off to the best start as Graphic Designer Karl was booted out by Darragh after scoring a respectable £5,000 in the cash builder.

But second contestant Susan did much better, managing to bring £3,000 back to her team.

*The Chase continues at 5pm on ITV tomorrow
