The Chase fans were left rather distracted on Tuesday afternoon when a hunky contestant called Robert walked into the studio.
When the latest four players appeared on Tuesday’s episode – Helena, Angela, Dave and Robert – there was one contestant in particular who seemed to steal the show for the viewers at home.
30-year-old Robert, who is a trainee English teacher from Glasgow, was sporting a smart brown shirt and jumper combo.
Robert quickly endeared himself to presenter Bradley Walsh when he revealed he was hugely into football and over four times a week – with Bradley being a big football fan himself.

The chiseled quizzer got off to an impressive start after managing a successful cash-builder round, banking £6,000 which he then brought back back to his team after beating the Chaser – Mark The Beast Labbett.
The delighted viewers at home were quick to react to the handsome chap, with some taking to Twitter to compliment the teacher.
One user said: “Good looking and a great taste in football… go on Robert.”

A second simply wrote: “Hi Robert, hello” as they attached a love-heart emoji to express their adoration for him.
After Robert shared that he was due to marry his partner Claire, a third confident viewer said: “Oof can Robert marry me instead. Us Welsh and Scots are a perfect match”.
Later in the episode, Robert impressed Bradley and his Chaser Mark so much that the Chaser even suggested Robert should be offered a job on the show – as he would “fit right in” with Bradley.
Robert had wowed Bradley and Mark with his solid knowledge of gin – prompting Bradley to proudly say: “He knows his stuff!”.

Robert then joked that the booze was “one of your five a day”, leaving Bradley and Mark bursting out laughing. and Bradley patting him on the back.
The Beast then added: “Can we get him a job on the show? He’d fit right in with you [Bradley]!”.
Sadly for Robert’s teammate Dave, he got knocked out after Mark chased him down after his cash-builder.
But later in the game, Robert, Angela and Helena were able to make it to the final round where they evaded The Beast – taking home £17,000 in cash after a tense showdown.
The Chase continues on ITV tomorrow at 5pm.
