The Chase fans gobsmacked as 'Married at First Sight star' appears on ITV quiz show

Viewers of The Chase were left stumped after a contestant on the show bore an uncanny resemblance to a Married at First Sight star.

The episode of the ITV quiz show, which aired on Tuesday evening, saw Anthony, Charlie, Catherine, and Heidi join forces to take on one of the chasers. However, one of them stole the show.

As the contestants faced Mark Labbett, AKA The Beast, viewers were more focussed on one particular participant rather than listening to the quick-fire questions.

Many noticed the striking similarities contestant Anthony boar to Married at First Sight star Duka Cav.

Immediately, those watching at home took to Twitter to compare the player to his reality TV doppelgänger, reports the Daily Star.

Alongside an array of shocked-faced emojis, one person penned: "Just me or does Anthony look like Duka from MAFS?" to which someone replied: "omg yeah he does!"

Another fan commented: "Thought he was Duka from MAFS UK. I know I'm sad watching it.#TheChase."

Anthony managed to bag £4k for the prize pot before mum-of-two Catherine brought home the top offer of £42k.

The successful foursome managed to bag £52k to take into the final chase after The Beast made some key slip ups during his head-to-head rounds.

Fans were rooting for the team to win after their "impressive" performance.

"It would be such a shame if the team lost after their imrpessive performance so far," said one viewer.

A second added: "This better be a team win !!!! And they thoroughly deserve it !!!!!!!"

But sadly, the dream team were not meant to be after the foursome answered 21 questions correctly but were left devastated after The Chaser caught them with just three seconds to spare.

"That was tense television, ladies and gentlemen #thechase," said one viewer.

Another thought they had been "robbed".

They said: "Gutted for them. Robbed!"

A third penned: "gutted, never wanted a team to win so much!!"

"Wow…what a performance from Mark."

The Chase airs weekdays on ITV at 5pm .
