The Chase viewers were left stunned by one contestant’s intelligence as they sped through their cash builder and head to head rounds.
He was joined by three other players who all worked together to try and win a top cash prize against Chaser Paul Sinha.
Jamie went first and told presenter Bradley Walsh that he was a Oxford medical student, which impressed Walsh as they discussed his life, interests and hobbies.

They then moved on to the first cash builder round and after a strong run, Jamie came away with a huge £8,000.
However, many home audiences were impressed with his intelligence – along with his good looks – and turned to Twitter to discuss the player.
One wrote: “Oh, hi Jamie,” with a waving emoji, a sweating emoji and a winking emoji.
Another noted that he was “light years ahead” of a contestant that played in the previous episode, while another simply praised him for a “well played” round.
A baffled viewer was completely stunned by Jamie’s intelligence and tweeted: “Complete waste of a high offer.”
Jamie went on to play against Paul Sinha after Bradley has scolded him for not taking the high offer of £30,000.
The contestant maintained his composure and gave explanations for his answers, which left him trailing ahead after Paul answered one question incorrectly.
He made it back to the panel after having a possible three attempts at the high offer, which many fans agreed he should have gone for.
However, Jamie had decided against the top prize as he was the first player and wanted to ensure the team were led to victory.
Fan reaction to Jamie was the complete opposite to one contestant in a previous episode who appeared to be “frozen” during the final round.
During the team’s cash builder round, played just before Chaser Mark Labbett beat them to the prize, Hayley buzzed just once and gave an incorrect answer.
Viewers took to Twitter to speculate about the contestant and someone joked that she looked as though she had been “frozen”.
Another noticed that her co-stars “didn’t stand a chance” while someone laughed that she “looked upset” even though she didn’t “contribute anything”.
