This Morning viewers couldn't help but be distracted during the latest edition of the show as Shaun Wallace joined hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary. The Chase star, known as the 'Dark Destroyer' was live in the studio during the ITV daytime programme on Tuesday (April 5) alongside his fellow quizzer Anne Hegerty, aka The Governess.
The pair were on the programme to chat to Alison and Dermot about going on a journey to discover their pasts in ITV's DNA Journey which airs tonight. It will see the quizzing duo heading on a road trip across the UK and Jamaica to uncover their genealogical history, with Anne discovering her impressive link to royalty while Shaun tracks his relatives back to the early 1700s.
It will be a change for viewers who are used to seeing the no-nonsense pair going head-to-head with contestants on The Chase, which is hosted by Bradley Walsh and airs weekdays on ITV.
But as Alison and Dermot tried to get as much information as they could about the programme without giving too much away, This Morning viewers were taking to social media to talk about Shaun’s appearance on the sofa as he ditched his dark-rimmed glasses and suit that viewers usually see him in.
Instead, the 61-year-old, who is also a barrister and lecturer as well as a television personality, was wearing a casual t-shirt which was showing off his muscular arms and trousers in a more casual display.
