The Chase viewers blown away by youthful player's age

The Chase viewers were taken back after discovering a player's age didn't match his youthful appearance.

Bradley Walsh was back today with another round of contestants ready to beat The Chaser. The quizmaster on hand was Paul "The Sinnerman" Sinha but a player's youthful looks are what stole the show.

Last to take on the cash builder round was hand embroiderer Matthew, originally from Sheffield. Before he could even step up to the plate viewers were left in awe over his age in the opening introductions.

After issuing a short bio about himself, Matthew revealed that he was actually far older than he looked. Declaring he was in fact 40, fans watching took to Twitter to share their shock.

One viewer said: "He's 40?!" Another added: "I look older than him and am two years younger!" Whilst a third said: "Looking good for 40."

Youthful looks aside, Matthew's team played a strong game all episode long but were just beaten by The Chaser with several seconds to spare. Their £53,000 pot was subsequently lost and they all went home with nothing.
