Many show viewers called the retired PA contestant a double of the British politician and television personality who once appeared on Celebrity Big Brother.
“F***ing hell it’s Ann Widdecombe!…” said one fan with a snap of the polician.
Another joked: “If you ordered ann widdecombe off wish.”
A third penned: “Ann Widdecombe seat 2!!”
Another quipped “bye Ann!” accompanied by a picture of Ann waving to fans as she. Left the Big Brother house.
The team took on The Vixen Jenny Ryan and Carmel confidently took her cash builder winnings over to take on the quizmaster.
But unfortunately her appearance on the show was short lived after she was sent packing early by Jenny in a savage beating.
Fans of the ITV gameshow are often pointing out celebrity lookalikes on the series.
Viewers were recently stunned to see a player they “recognized” popping up on the ITV show this week, with some saying she looked just like Helen Mirren.
Of those who thought Julie was a dead ringer for The Queen star, one Twitter user wrote: “Never thought I’d see Helen Mirren on The Chase.”
