Privacy Notice ITV’s The Chase fans were left rubbing their eyes in disbelief as they noticed a contestant who was the spitting image of Coronation Street legend. As Bradley Walsh introduced Stuart to kick off his cash builder round, viewers couldn’t help but flood Twitter with observations that the 43 year old was a lookalike for Sean Wilson, known for playing Martin Platt on the much-loved soap. Twitter lit up with comments such as: “Wasn’t he married to Gail in Corrie?,” and another chimed in with: “Martin Platt in seat 1 #TheChase”. One fan didn’t hold back, tweeting: “Martin Platt from Corrie [sic]”. And the doppelganger talk didn’t end there; some thought Stuart also resembled actor Martin Freeman.

However, Stuart’s moment in the spotlight was brief as he was swiftly caught by the Chaser, with his fellow contestants Lottie and Steve also making an early exit, according to the Mirror, reports the Express. Only Victoria made it through to the final chase, scraping together £1,000. Armed with a two-minute timer and a one-step head start, she set a goal of 14 for Chaser Paul Sinha to catch.

Bradley commended her valiant effort, remarking: “That’s brilliant. Brilliant, well played I think you knew another three or four of those, really good single player.” Paul showed his respect for Victoria’s gameplay with immediate applause, saying: “Brilliant Victoria, you played the perfect game! “. Bradley Walsh praised a contestant on The Chase, saying: “You kept calm, you listened to the questions and you got the ones you knew and now you’ve hit a total that I’ve lost to a few times over the years.” Despite her admirable performance which led to a respectable score, Victoria was ultimately overtaken by the experienced chaser with nearly half a minute left on the clock. Despite leaving without any prize money, Bradley still commended the challenging benchmark she laid for Paul.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
