ITV The Chase contestant blushes after Bradley Walsh's comments

A contestant on The Chase blushed during Friday's episode as host Bradley Walsh told him he looked like a certain Hollywood star.

The host once again welcomed four new players on this week's second edition of the popular ITV programme. Phil, Helen, Jamie and Victoria were testing their wits against one of Britain's biggest brains in a bid to win big money.

Phil, a client director from Liverpool, was up first to face the Dark Destroyer. He had an incredible cash builder, making it back to the team with £8,000.

But it was Phil's appearance that captured Bradley's attention. Introducing himself, Phil said he was from Liverpool.

Bradley asked which football team Phil supported, to which he said he was a blue. The 31-year-old then said he liked to relax by watching films.

Bradley, 62, said: "You should do films, Phil. You are the spitting image of Colin Farrell". Blushing, Phil replied: "He's not a bad looking fella, I'll take that."

Viewers at home also commented on Phil's looks. Taking to Twitter, Georgia D said: "Phil is lush" while Jess said: "Scouse Colin Farrell is handsome."

The Chase returns at 5pm on Monday on ITV and the ITV Hub
