“Harry looks a bit like Dermot O Leary,” one social media user wrote.

Another chipped in with: “”Harry is a Dermot O’Leary and Dexter hybrid.”

A third joked: “Harry – The lovechild of Dermot O’Leary and Prince Harry himself.”

When they weren’t being distracted by the ‘familiar face’, viewers were on the edge of their seats watching the ITV.

The Chaser, Jenny ‘The Vixen’ Ryan, caught contestant Trevor early on, but his teammate Gail opted for a higher offer and secured £35,000.

Harry and contestant Maddy also contributed to the prize pot, raising the total to £45,000, which all three split after outsmarting The Vixen in the final chase.

The big win left fans overjoyed, as one said: “Well done team! …and none of them entertained the minus offer.”

Another said “There’s no way Jenny would let anyone win. She’s way too competitive.”

A third chimed in with: “Jenny may have thought the team deserved to win and threw that. She could have easily passed that penultimate question.”

The Chase airs Mondays-Fridays at 5pm on ITV1.
