The Chase viewers 'concerned' for Take That as contestant brags about stalking band

The Chase viewers were left with raised eyebrows after one contestant bragged about "stalking" the band Take That during their career peak.

Claire from Wales shocked viewers when she revealed details of her 'fan-girl' past, admitting she "accidentally" popped up at the same spots the band was conveniently at.

And just when her nonchalantness was believed, she gave her unbothered persona away when she went a step too far by admitting she hovered near the band on purpose.

As host Bradley Walsh asked her what she does to relax, Claire had a very candid answer.

She revealed: "I really like going to concerts, I really like live music. I'm a massive Take That fan."

She added: "I spend quite a lot of time going round the country watching them when they are touring."

When asked how many times she's seen the band live, Claire said: "Well, hitting about 20 I would say by now. I love them."

And when Bradley asked if she's ever met any of the band's members, viewers were concerned to hear Claire's very honest answer.

Laughing at the question, she said: "I haven't actually met any of them, but I might have accidentally turned up to some places where they might have been at - purely by coincidence.

"So, just happened to maybe be in a hotel where they might have been staying... Purely coincidental obviously."

A concerned Bradley then said: "So stalker...I mean Claire..." before the audience erupted into laughter.

Viewers rushed to Twitter to share their thoughts on Claire's very honest revelation.

One fan wrote: "If Take That are watching, they really need to take out a restraining order against this woman #TheChase"

Another penned: "You can be sure that Take That's security team now have a picture of her... #thechase"

A third added: "She looks EXACTLY how I’d expect a Take That fan to look. #TheChase"

Even host Bradley Walsh called Claire a stalker (ITV)

While a fourth wrote: "If she meets Take That #TheChase," alongside an "I know where you live" gif.

Hosted by Bradley Walsh, the gameshow has been airing repeats from over the years due to filming being halted amid the coronavirus outbreak.

With the COVID-19 pandemic seeing cases and deaths soar around the world, and in the UK, measures and restrictions are in place as to keep people apart.

TV production across the UK has been stopped, with a number of shows including The Chase stopping filming.

But ITV have got it covered, with old episodes of the show airing instead.

*The Chase continues weeknights at 5pm on ITV.
