FANS of The Chase were left in disbelief after a “stunning” contestant on the show revealed her age. Toni, who is a 40-year-old writer, took viewers by surprise when she introduced herself on the ITV quiz show last Friday.  As she chatted to host Bradley Walsh, fans of the show flocked to social media to share their admiration for her good looks.

Bradley Walsh was completely gobsmacked after a contestant broke a new show record with the highest number of correct answers given on The Chase.During Tuesday’s instalment of the popular ITV game show, the 61-year-old welcomed a new batch of quizzers ready to take on the Chaser in an attempt to take home the cash prize.During the show John, Amy, Claire and Stephen worked together as a team to beat the chaser and take home a healthy cash prize split between them evenly.But the former Coronation Street star was shocked to witness one contestant set a “spectacular” record after he managed to get a “full house” during the quick-fire round.Before he faced Mark ‘The Beast’ Labbett, budding star John showcased his mental prowess after he raked in £11,000 in just 30 seconds.Blown away with his impressive score, Bradley couldn’t help but congratulate him for his impressive general knowledge during the fast-paced round.Flabbergasted, he said: “The show’s over. I can’t remember the last time that has happened.

Bradley Walsh was in a rather cheeky mood after he made a joke about a contestant's poor performance during the latest episode of The Chase. Blonde beauty Libbie, who was from Bradford, had hopes of winning a large sum of cash on the ITV show.However, Libbie's nerves seemed to get the better of her in the cash builder round and she only managed to answer three questions correctly.Bradley, 61, was also fairly surprised by the player and joked that even "some animals" could have answered her set of questions.The star quipped: "Some of those questions there, some of your animals could have got."However, Bradley also highlighted the fact Libbie appeared nervous while on the show to which she agreed.But when the contestant asked Bradley if she was able to have another go, he simply replied: "Ummm no."Although she managed to gain £3,000 in the cash builder round, Libbie – who had hoped to use her winnings for her upcoming wedding – decided to go for the lower offer.When chaser Shaun Wallace tempted her with the option of going for the higher offer of £27,000, Libbie thought it would be best to go for the safer proposal on the table which was £1,000.Libbie's team members also tried to advise her to stick to the amount that she had already earned, however the player was firm with her decision.Seeing her take the lower proposition early on in the competition, viewers at home were clearly annoyed and quickly rushed to Twitter to vent.One viewer penned: "Imagine traveling to the The Chase studios and taking £1k, the low offer, what’s the f***ing point?"Another said: "First contestant already ruined it.

The Chase fans were left gobsmacked as contestant Fiona appeared on Thursday's (February 10) programme, as she bore an uncanny resemblance to one EastEnders legend.Eagle-eyed viewers thought the player looked indistinguishable from EastEnders star June Brown - who was better known for her role as Dot Cotton on the famous soap.Convinced that Dot had made a cheeky appearance on the ITV programme, online users swarmed Twitter pointing out how much they looked alike.One person penned: "Go on Dot Cotton going high on #TheChase."Another remarked: "Dot Cotton on #TheChase, as a third wondered: "Is that Dot Cotton on the The Chase?"While a fourth was seemingly annoyed over the amount of memes and images of the actress that were popping up on Twitter after Fiona's appearance.They wrote: "Hope somebody posts a Dot Cotton picture.

Have you got a subject where you think, 'Actually I don’t think they would know the answer to that'?"Bradley reckoned his Chasers would be strong in every subject area, but soon confessed to how he won his job on the show.Bradley said: "I’ve gotta fess up as well. When we first did the job, the only two choices that were first there were actually The Beast and The Dark Destroyer, right?’ he began, referring to quiz masters Mark Labbett and Shaun Wallace."And we were doing an office run through, and this is to get the job up and running.
