The Chase is loved by people up and down the country and during Monday night's episode (February 3), the show saw four new contestants take on The Beast, as host Bradley Walsh welcomed Lexi, Pete, Helen and Amit.
Pete, an account manager from London, only raised £1,000 during the cash builder stage.
WalesOnline reports that Pete pledged to buy his girlfriend Emma an engagement ring if he won money on the show.
He said: “If I won any sort of money, and my girlfriend found out about it, and I didn’t put it towards an engagement ring, she’d be fuming.”
Pete took The Beast by surprise after getting through to secure his place in the final, despite his performance during the cash builder stage.
However, more than anything, it was Pete's age that had everyone in shock.
After Pete told Bradley that he was 26, fans took to Twitter to voice their shock.
One said: “Pete is not 26!!!”
Another said: “Helen looks closer to 26 than Pete did.”
A third said: “Well done Pete, looking good for 40. You're not fooling anyone when you say you're 26.”
A third said: “Well done Pete, looking good for 40. You're not fooling anyone when you say you're 26.”
“26? When I was that age I would have looked like I was his son,” said another viewer.
Pete faced The Beast in the final round with teammates Helen and Lexi, but the contestants were caught by the Chaser with 43 seconds on the clock.
