The Chase fans fans couldn’t help but swoon over a “sexy” player during the latest episode of the hit ITV game show.
During Monday’s episode (July 31), presenter Bradley Walsh welcomed four new contestants into the studio who battled it out against today’s chaser, Anne Hegerty.
But it was one player in particular – Alex – who caught the attention of viewers and they headed straight to social media to voice their admiration for the 27-year-old.

“MAKE WAY FOR SEXY ALEX PLS,” exclaimed one viewer as another echoed: “RIGHT shush now, Alex is on [heart-eyed emoji]”.
A third added: “OH HELLO ALEX,” as a fourth chimed in: “Beloved Alex, Bless him, gorgeous lad”.
As Alex stepped up to the mark ahead of the cash builder, he had a quick chat with the former Coronation Street star.
Alex revealed he began working as firefighter just over a year ago after helping with bushfires while travelling in Australia.
While his job certainly got those at home talking, it was the mention of his partner that also became topic of conversation.

After revealing he has a passion for football, Alex told Bradley: “I watch as many games as possible. My partner’s not too happy about that”.
The ITV star then explained that if he was to win any money, it would go towards their wedding.
Fans didn’t seem happy after learning that Alex had a partner, but were even more fuming after he decided to take the lower offer of £1,000 after earning £3,000 in the cash builder.
One viewer wrote: “Nah he’s got a partner & gone low? Pls he’s no good”.

A second tweeted: “Booooo partner.”
Another fumed: “WHAT???? Alex, I liked you, thought you were fit but after taking the £1k.. Now you are low offer w***er!!!”
Alex made it through to the final chase alongside Paul and Catherine and the trio managed to collectively earn £14,000.
But despite their efforts, the team only managed to answer seven questions correct before Anne caught them with more than one minute and 20 seconds to spare.
