The Chase fans were completely distracted by 'the most handsome contestant ever to appear on the show'

A daily dose of The Chase is something most of us need right now.

During Friday night's show, many viewers were distracted by a particular contestant.

John, from Swansea, was part of the team of four hoping to beat the Chaser and walk away with plenty of cash.

The student managed to rack up £3,000 in his cash builder round before making it through to the final.

But that wasn't what got fans talking.

John appeared on The Chase (ITV)

"John on the chase is a bit of alright ain't he?" one person said

Another added: "John's devilishly handsomeness is somewhat offensive and also commendable!"

"Not even focusing on John's questions, just admiring his beauty #TheChase," a third commented.

A fourth tipped him for another gig, saying: "Are you watching John on #thechase @LoveIsland producers?"

The episode was a re-run from 2015.

John himself was watching.

He said on Twitter: "Repeated my episode of #thechase tonight. I got some simple questions wrong fair play. Great laugh seeing it again."

Even the show's host commented on his good looks.

Bradley Walsh told him: "I've got to say John, the girls in our office are now crammed around the television.

"They said you're the most handsome contestant we've ever had on."

The ITV star also added: "Just to tell you son, I used to look like you."
