ITV The Chase fans say same thing as contestant starts talking

A contestant on Friday's instalment of The Chase had fans swooning over his accent.

Bradley Walsh welcomed four new players on this week's final edition of the popular ITV programme. Tony, Jennifer, Vanessa and James were testing their wits against one of Britain's biggest brains in a bid to win big money.

James, an office manager from Merseyside was first up to face the Beast, aka Mark Labbett. He had a decent cash builder, gaining a potential £6,000 in the bank.

Bradley was so impressed with his efforts he asked James if he was a "secret quizzer". James said he wasn't, and that he just liked trivia.

After taking the Beast's middle offer, James made it back to the team with his £6,000 - securing himself a place in the final. But it was his voice, rather than his wit, that had viewers talking.

Taking to Twitter, Michelle W said: "His accent is a dream", while bngtnstrictly said: "His accent is so nice". Rachel Smyth said: "I could honestly listen to him talk all day".

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