The Chase viewers were distracted by a “gorgeous” contestant as the show’s latest episode aired.
Friday night’s (April 19) instalment of the ITV game show – which is hosted by Bradley Walsh – saw a hopeful named Marcus among the team going up against Chaser Paul Sinha. But as the panel fired back answers to Brad’s questions, some people were just focused on Marcus’ looks.
One viewer posted a hearts in eyes emoji on X as they gushed: “Marcus on The Chase is so gorgeous.” “Oh hello there Marcus, you fine specimen xoxox,” commented someone else.

But unfortunately for the hunk, praise didn’t last too long as he and his teammates lost the final chase, and the opportunity to bank a whopping £75k. Fans rushed to complain about the team’s poor performance on X, formerly Twitter.
One fumed: “Truly tragic, and Annalise carried them again through that disaster”. “Poor final,” said someone else. “Poor contestants. Another wasted hour and ITV saved £75,000.”

“That wasn’t brilliant,” said another viewer, as someone else remarked on the men being “too slow”. “You can bluff through multiple choice but you can’t bluff through the final chase,” one person posted.
Others pointed out that at 22, Marcus might not know a lot of the answers to the questions. As he was quizzed, some viewers suggested that a lot of the things coming up had happened before he was born.
“Marcus thinking, ‘Who the f*** is Wendy Richard?’” a fan posted after one question. Another giggled: “’In 1971 which university started broadcasting its programmes on the television?’ Marcus ‘Oxford’. Bradley Walsh ‘The Open University’.”

“All these questions are before Marcus’s time…” said someone else.
One person wrote: “Brad Walsh asking questions on The Chase ‘What comedy duo had Christian names Tommy and Bobby?’ Marcus: ‘Laurel and Hardy’.”
