Tipping Point fans do 'double-take' as The Chase star lookalike appears on ITV quiz

Tipping Point viewers were left open-mouthed after a contestant bore “striking similarities” to a rather famous TV star.

As player Lee took on the machine and attempted to bag himself a heap of cash against fellow players Carol and Lydia, fans were left taken aback by his appearance.

Sporting a full head of curly dark hair and a similar build to a certain famous quizmaster, fans quickly compared Lee to Darragh Ennis from ITV gameshow, The Chase.

“I’m sorry, I can’t get over Lee’s perm. It reminds me of a certain chaser… #TippingPoint,” said one viewer, followed by a meme of Darragh shooting a thumbs up at the camera.

Another added: “Someone already said it but Lee really looks like Darragh!”

While a third was responding to a bad answer made by the player, they said: “Oh Darragh I mean Lee #TippingPoint,” followed by a laughing emoji.

Lee began the game trailing behind player Lydia after she scored a series of lucrative drops in the machine, however, he soon caught up with his competitor and bagged a whopping two mystery prizes in one turn.

After answering an impressive seven questions correctly in his Q&A against host Ben Shephard, he managed to bank an impressive £1250 to add to his £250 – levelling him with Lydia.

He also scored a luxury speed boat ride and a massage bed.

“what a comeback Lee, wow!” gushed Ben.

Unfortunately, he was booted off next after failing to answer enough questions correctly, sending Lydia into the final.

Viewers have spotted many lookalikes on the show, including one player who bore a striking resemblance to Coronation Street’s Fiz.

“What’s Fizz from Corrie doing on tippingpoint,” gushed one player. A second joked: “Get home to the kids fizz #tippingpoint”

“Flip me! Fizz is on #tippingpoint,” said a third,

Fans also spotted a Dancing on Ice star Bez lookalike on a recent episode.

One fan wrote: “Rob on today’s #TippingPoint, looking like Bez! He’s his blo*dy double!”.

A second agreed: “#tippingpoint When I first saw Rob I thought “Bez has let himself go”.
