The Chase fans were left doing a double take on tonight’s episode (April 10) after spotting a well-known star from hit Channel 4 series, Rise and Fall.
As viewers tuned in to welcome four new contestants, they were distracted by player Prince, who introduced himself as an actor to host, Bradley Walsh.
It didn’t take long for fans at home to place the actor on the hit show, hosted by Greg James, which sees players compete for the position of power and £100k.

One fan commented: “Some people will just do anything to be on the telly, won’t they? We’ve just seen Prince on #RiseandFall, now he’s on the repeated episode of #TheChase. I can’t recall how he did but am wondering if his smugness was his downfall again?”

Another added: “Prince was in Rise and Fall #thechase,” while a third penned: “Eh isn’t that Prince off #RiseAndFall on #TheChase.”
But some fans were baffled as his occupation was listed as a postman on the series, and the player labelled himself an actor on the game show.
“Is Prince an actor or a postal worker? #TheChase #RiseAndFall.”

Another echoed: “Prince, I’m an “actor” because I need to buff up my status #TheChase Also Prince: I’m actually a poster worker but I went on the show #RiseAndFall as a ruler to show my status but I failed miserably.”
But Prince wasn’t the only player that caught viewers’ eye.
Fans watching at home couldn’t help but notice the hilarious theme of all the player’s names, as Prince joined Elvis, Tina and Adele on the panel.
