ITV The Chase fans celebrate as favourite 'finally' returns to show

The Chase fans were ecstatic to see their favourite quiz master Darragh Ennis had returned.

Bradley Walsh welcomed another four hopefuls today ready to test their knowledge and take home a hefty cash prize. He kicked the show off by asking the players which chaser they wanted to take on but the return of a fan favourite left them all ecstatic.

The contestants each had a different preference - Anne, Mark, Shaun and Jenny - but Darragh "The Mennis" Ennis was at the helm of today's show. All four were pleasantly surprised and welcomed him to a small round of applause as he took his seat.

Long-term fans of the show exploded with excitement as Darragh only makes an appearance every once in a while. His rarity and warm demeanour catapulted him into being the show's favourite chaser despite only ever being in the seat every few weeks.

Sharing their joy online, one viewer said: "Wooo! Darragh!"

Another added: "Yay, it’s @bones_giles finally #TheChase Watch The Menace’s Twittersphere go wild!"

A third fan said: "I just came in time to witness @bones_giles in action!"

A final comment added: "Friday @bones_giles is the chaser... perfect #TheChase."
