The Chase fans were in disbelief as the show celebrated a special milestone.
Bradley Walsh returned to welcome four new quizzers on to Monday's edition of the popular ITV game show. Giles, Michael, Jo and Rasheel were testing their wits against The Sinnerman in a bid to win a cash prize.
The Chase is now a staple of daytime television and first debuted on our screens on June 29, 2009. Viewers following the show on Twitter penned tributes to the programme as it celebrated 13 years on air.

Gordon commented :"13 years tonight YES THIRTEEN YEARS can you believe it some little new quiz called #TheChase started on ITV I thought they were onto a massive hit with a little bit of tweaking I have absolutely loved the show unashamedly ever since"
Kayleigh tweeted: "Happy 13th Birthday to The Chase."
@envypost added: "Happy Birthday! Today marks 13 years since the very first episode of @ITVChase hit our screens!"
@ONeqnshootout said: "The Chase becomes a teenager today - 13 years since the first episode broadcast"
The show celebrated its special birthday with another entertaining episode. Giles was up in seat one and accumulated £4,000 before he navigated his way past The Sinnerman to book his spot in the last round.
However, the Chaser fought back and eliminated the three other players. Giles built up 13 steps, but was caught with one minute and three seconds remaining.
The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
