ITV The Chase contestant 'smashes it' after getting question 'about his coat'

A player on Tuesday's instalment of The Chase "smashed it" after getting a question right due to the coat he wore to the studio.

Bradley Walsh welcomed four new players on this week's second edition of the popular ITV programme. Emma, Sarah, Damon and Gary were testing their wits against one of Britain's biggest brains in a bid to win big money.

Gary, a corporate manager from London was first up to face the Governess, aka Jenny Ryan. He had an impressive cash builder, gaining a potential £7,000 in the bank.

Clearly confident, the 30-year-old opted to take Jenny's higher offer of £30,000. And thanks to a fashion-themed question, he made it back to the table with all the money.

Bradley asked him: "What type of bird is the emblem of British fashion brand Jack Wills?". He was then given the options of either pheasant, peacock or turkey. Gary locked in "pheasant".

He smiled as he told Bradley: "I wore a Jack Wills coat here today. I'm pretty sure it's a pheasant, or a weird looking turkey."

Viewers were clearly impressed with his performance. Taking to Twitter, Carly B said: "Gary has smashed it there... thanks to his coat lol"

Miss M said: "Well done Gary. Very good player", while Resa Chuks said: "Gary got some nice questions! Glad he went big and it paid off". Warren Palmer said: "Loving Gary on #thechase what a guy"

The Chase airs weekdays from 5pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
