The Chase fans saw scientist Cole appear on the show alongside three teammates, Ian, Andrew and Jo.
Cole kicked off the show as he told Bradley Walsh all about his career and his hobbies as he spilled on his job as a biologist and his joy for playing golf.
As they geared up to start the questions, Bradley asked Cole if there was anybody he particularly wanted to take on – to which he confessed he would love to try and go up against Darragh Ennis.
After getting six correct answers Bradley asked him the age-old question as Cole immediately responded: “Darragh, he’s a scientist, I’m a scientist. Hopefully what he doesn’t know I won’t know.”
Bradley nodded and said: “It’s Darragh not Darr-rah, if it is him,” prompting Cole to add: “That’s going to be awkward.”
Joy sprung over Cole’s face as Darragh walked out as Bradley introduced him as “Darrah The Ennis Mennis.”
As Darragh walked out and said hello to the contestant, Cole responded: “I can only apologise,” prompting the quizzer to tease him on his pronunciations.
Despite their awkward start, Cole was happy to get the chaser he wanted – and it seems fans were too.
Immediately after Darragh walked out fans took to Twitter to praise the quizzer, with one person writing: “Yessss it’s Darragh!”
While another said: “Darragh is everyone’s favourite chaser right? Just seems like a super nice guy.”
A third said: “Hurrah Darragh!”
While Darragh certainly does seem to be the favourite Chaser, his similarities with Cole were soon short lived, with the contestant unfortunately bowing out of the quiz following a question about rivers.
Darragh managed to take down two contestants before the final chase, with Ian and Jo sailing through to the final round with a chance to win £8,000.
Unfortunately, the pair only managed to get nine correct questions in the final chase.
Darragh caught the duo with 1 minute and 6 seconds remaining.
The Chase continues weekdays on ITV at 5pm.
