The Chase fans couldn’t help but swoon over a “hot” contestant during Thursday’s (October 6) episode of the show.
Bradley Walsh welcomed four new hopefuls to the ITV studio who prepared to take on the chaser, Jenny Ryan and take home a cash prize.
25-year-old Jonathan was second in line to take on The Vixen and try and make his way back to the team in order to face the chaser in the final round.
But within minutes of the date analyst appearing on screens, viewers took to social media to comment on his looks.
“Jonathan is FIT #TheChase,” gushed one user.
“Well Jonathan is nice isn’t he #TheChase,” echoed a second.
Another added: “Phew . . . Jonathan’s a bit hot . . . #TheChase”
Jonathan, who hails from Liverpool, earned £3,000 in the cash builder before preparing to take on Jenny, 40, but it soon emerged that she was “going soft” on him.
Bradley asked: “Which actress won an Oscar for playing Queen Elizabeth I and the three possible answers were Cate Blanchett, Helen Mirren and Judi Dench.
While Jonathan guessed wrong with Helen Mirren, Jenny also chose the wrong incorrect answer when she picked Cate Blanchett.
Realising her mistake, Jenny shook her head as she quipped: “That was really stupid of me. There’s not other way of describing it.”
“Going soft on me,” responded Jonathan.
Unfortunately for Jonathan, he failed to make it through to the final chase after he was comfortably caught by Jenny.
Next up to face the chaser was Sonali who had plans to fly her family over to the UK to enjoy Christmas at winter, however she followed in Jonathan’s footsteps and failed to take back the £7,000 she had originally won in the cash builder.
It seemed today’s team couldn’t catch a break as final contestant Colin also failed to make it through to the final round, leaving number one player Christine to battle the final chase on her own.
Christine managed to answer 14 questions right in the final chase, but was caught by Jenny with 53 seconds remaining.
