Fans couldn't believe one player's age on The Chase tonight.
Bradley Walsh welcomed four new players to Thursday's edition of the ITV quiz show. Angela, Gabe, Fiona and Paul all competed with hopes of beating chaser Shaun Wallace and going home with a cash prize.
Each player introduced themselves at the start of the show, letting viewers know their names, ages, occupations and where they were from. Paul, a 60-year-old foster carer, shocked fans as he shared his age.

Fans on Twitter thought that he was blessed with youthful looks and couldn't believe he was really 60. Chris said: "If Paul said he was 35 to 40, I would believe him! Honestly, I bet he still got asked for ID on his 40th birthday #TheChase."
Emma said: "I beg your pardon Paul? You’re 60!? No way. He looks my age! #TheChase." Mysterio said: "#TheChase Paul thought they told him to state his IQ, not his age! Lol."
Another user said: "I’m still coming to terms with Paul being 60…I can’t grasp it… #TheChase." One more added: "There is no way on this earth that this Paul bloke is 60. What sorcery is this?? #TheChase."
Even Bradley was taken aback, as Paul explained to him that he was previously a teacher. He said: "I thought I've reached 60 now so I'll give myself a break."
Bradley raised his eyebrows in disbelief as Paul added: "Yes, I am 60." Bradley replied: "Crikey! You look well for 60, Paul."
The player said: "It's all that sport. Well, I still play a lot of sport but I'm recently recovering from a really bad injury."
The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV and ITV Hub
