ITV’s The Chase had a contestant appear on Friday afternoon’s show which some viewers believed shared a striking resemblance to award winning singer Paul McCartney.
Musician Kenny, 58, was the first player to face chaser The Sinnerman on the programme but viewers became rather distracted by Kenny’s lookalike celebrity appearance.
Taking to twitter, The Chase fans excitedly aired their opinions.
One fan said: “Bloody hell. Thought it was Paul McCartney for a moment.”
Another commented: “Paul McCartney is on #TheChase.”
A third penned: “Scottish Paul McCartney on #TheChase.”
While a fourth simply chimed: “Looks like Paul McCartney!!”
But this wasn’t the only resemblance that Kenny had to rocker Paul.
Contestant Kenny expressed that he is also a song-writer and is a part of band who plays Beetle inspired tunes.
Although he was very passionate about music, Kenny admitted that he hasn’t yet written a number one song just yet.
Kenny’s story and looks definitely impressed viewers at home but unfortunately his general knowledge didn’t.
After only getting two questions correctly in the first round, Kenny had a lot of work to do when faced with chaser Paul Sinah.
But unfortunately, the singer songwriter was unable to secure his place in the final round and was beaten at the last hurdle.
Fans also suspected that Kenny wouldn’t be able to make it back home to the other contestants too and took to twitter to comment.

One fan joked: “Where’s Paul McCartney gone?”
Another said: “Without a doubt, that has got to be the worst start I’ve seen in a very long time! Byeeee!”
Later on in the show, Sinead and Glifton became the only contestants to face Paul Sinah in the final round.
Although they managed to do well and answer 16 questions successfully between them, they were still unable to fight back against the brainbox and ended up leaving with nothing.
But to make light of the situation, the pair declared that they had a great day.
The Chase airs weekdays on ITV at 5pm.
