THE Chase fans joked an EastEnders legend had joined the quiz show after a lookalike contestant appeared on-screen.

Fans thought Andrea, 45, was a dead ringer for Kat Slater when she appeared in her leopard print outfit on the ITV quiz show.

Andrea had fans doing a double take as she glammed up on screen with Kat Slater's trademark jet black hair and red lippy.

Even her leopard print top could have been straight out Kat's wardrobe, fans believed.

The Chase viewers flocked to Twitter after thinking they had spotted EastEnders star Jessie Wallace on screen.

One wrote: "Kat Slater on the chase #TheChase."

A second said: "Kat Slater? You are all watching itv yea?"

The contestant, named Andrea, is a makeup artist from Harrow in northwest London and was the first person up on Thursday night's show.

During the show Andrea did a great job but lost when Jenny the Vixen beat her within minutes.

Meanwhile The Sun revealed Jessie’s company has finally been dissolved owing thousands to the taxman.

The mum-of-one placed her company Thatcher Promotions Limited into voluntary liquidation in 2015.

Documents with Companies House showed that HMRC wanted £69,614 in corporation tax and VAT and the star ended up paying only £25,964.

The soap star owed £1500 to trade creditors, which she paid £1,194 of.

Jess also paid off £60,000 in ‘director’s loan accounts’ and had to pay £25,000 to the liquidator. 

It was previously reported that the firm handles Jessie’s EastEnders salary before it was dissolved earlier this month.
