Fans of ITV’s The Chase were stunned at one contestant’s likeness to MasterChef star Gregg Wallace.
In tonight’s (February 7 2020) episode of the hit game show, the first of the team to try their hand at the cash-builder round was 58-year-old Methodist minister Stuart, who chatted to host Bradley Walsh about his work.

He performed well, answering eight questions right before stepping up to face the chaser, Anne Hegerty.
Despite his impressive cash-builder, Stuart stumbled – including on a theological question – and was eventually caught.
But viewers on Twitter appeared to be more interested in his stark resemblance to TV’s Gregg Wallace than the answers he gave.
One joked: “Gregg Wallace is caught! #TheChase.”
Is that not Gregg Wallace?
“Hard luck Gregg #TheChase,” said another.
A third tweeted: “Back to peeling spuds, Gregg. #TheChase.”
One Gregg Wallace admirer tweeted: “There’s a geezer on #TheChase, he looks like
@GreggAWallace but Gregg is better looking, well I wouldn’t say no anyway.”
Another wrote: “Is that not Gregg Wallace? #TheChase.”
And a string of viewers called him a “Poundland” version of the MasterChef star.
