The Chase fans were left scooping their jaws up off the floor on Friday evening, as one contestant revealed his real age.
Nina, Chris, Scott and Florence had all teamed up to attempt to beat Jenny Ryan – AKA The Vixen – in the Final Chase to attempt to wrangle an impressive cash prize in the ITV quiz show.
But though Nina got knocked out in the first round, it was ‘gorgeous’ Chris who caught the eye of plenty of quiz fans.
With his impressive blonde locks and ageless skin, Chris looked to be in his mid-twenties.
Taking to Twitter, one gushing fan wrote: “Am I the only one who would date Chris??”

“He’s kinda hot…” someone else posted, while a third fan tweeted: “He’s very cute!”
But when it came time for Chris to reveal his real age to host Bradley Walsh, fans simply couldn’t believe it – as the blonde haired Adonis was actually 37.
It came as Jenny Ryan remarked that they were the same age – so had missed out on a key music event in history.
“Chap on #TheChase is 37!! Looks more like 24/25!” one fan quickly tweeted.

Another followed up: “Asking for player’s age klaxon!”
“He’s 37??” someone else begged as they wanted to know Chris’ “secret to youth”.
Someone else simply tweeted: “37?!!”
Chris stormed through to the Final Chase with £5,000 in the prize pot – but fellow contestant Scott wasn’t so lucky.
Fans were further distracted by first player Nina, as they pointed out she bore a striking resemblance to Good Morning Britain presenter Susanna Reid.

With her dark hair and understated make-up, Nina did look remarkably like Piers Morgan’s former co-star.
“Surely that’s Susanna Reid?!” one fan quickly posted on Twitter.
Final contestant Florence left fans impressed as she opted for the highest offer of £65,000 – which risked leaving poor Chris on his own if she was caught by Jenny.
But the model-lookalike stormed through to the Final Chase with the hugely impressive amount, and was hailed as “sensational” by host Bradley.
As she was only 20 and pursuing a medical career, the money will obviously make a huge amount of difference to her life.
“I think you put Chris through the wringer at various points through that!” Jenny quipped as Florence returned to her seat.
But Chris was cheered by the win – which would prove an impressive amount to split.
The Chase airs from 5pm weekdays on ITV.
