The Chase contestant becomes online sensation after 'strange' outfit choice

A contestant on ITV's The Chase has caused a stir online thanks to their 'strange' outfit choice.

Alex, 30, appeared on the show and everything seemed normal, then when she got up to move to the podium it looked as if she had forgotten a vital piece of clothing.

Eagle-eyed viewers noticed that the contestant from Droitwich wasn't wearing any shoes, and was walking around in the studio barefoot, as the Daily Star reports.

Many fans were surprised at the fact that Alex seemed to have forgotten her shoes, with many tweeting out about their confusion, but host Bradley Walsh seemed unfazed.

One viewer said: "Is that woman on the chase not wearing shoes?"

"How has she forgotten her shoes?!" observed another fan, while a third person said: "Looks like she has no shoes on, that’s very strange."

"I hope Alex wins some money, she needs to get herself some shoes," a fourth social media user joked.

A fifth shocked fan commented: "How on earth can you just forget your shoes?"

Alex answered seven questions correctly, which earned her £7,000 to take through to the next round.

Bradley welcomed Alex up to the podium and she explained that she would use her prize money to take her husband to Mauritius, where they went on their honeymoon.

Along with two of her teammates, Alex made it through to the final chase, but they were unsuccessful in defeating the beast, Mark Labbett, and walked away empty-handed.

Meanwhile, Ben Shephard was left in stitches when a contestant on TV game show Tipping Point thought that the Loch Ness monster was a type of snake.

The host of the ITV gameshow struggled to contain himself after he asked for the name of a breed of snake native to Britain that's a member of the viper family.

Would-be winner Josh, a student from Manchester, was confident he knew the answer and hit his buzzer first - but when the camera turned to him he blurted out "the Loch Ness monster".

Ben, who used to front Channel Four's Bigger Breakfast, stifled a laugh that soon broke through and he was struggling to regain composure as he told Josh that he was, unfortunately, incorrect.
