ITV The Chase fans do a double take over celebrity lookalike

Viewers of The Chase had to do a double take tonight as they mistook one of the contestants for a celebrity.

The chase was on for player Makyla, as she joined her teammates Haydn, Roger and Romanda as they went up against quizzer Darragh Ennis.

Haydn was up first, making it back to the table with just £200.

Sadly Romanda was beaten by The Chaser, before Makyla managed to bank £5,000.

And while watching the show, fans were distracted by who they thought Makyla looked like.

Some thought the 50-year-old from Buckinghamshire looked like TV personality Anne Diamond.

Taking to Twitter, Charybdis1966 said "Anne Diamond in Seat 2"

Sweary Charley said: "Anybody mentioned that she looks like Anne Diamond yet?"

Michelle W said: "Been thinking who she looks like since the start. Anne Diamond! #TheChase"

Roger was fourth to face The Chaser, and after having his head turned by a huge £56,400 offer, he went with the middle number - £4,000.

He made it back to the table, meaning there was £9,200 to play for, with three contestants against Darragh in the final.

The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
