The Chase viewers convinced iconic American TV star appeared on the show

THE Chase viewers believe they spotted an iconic American TV star on the ITV gameshow.

Last night's repeat episode had fans talking after they thought a contestant looked like a celebrity from across the pond.

Chaser Mark Labett went up against contestants Russell, Alison, Sophie and Ceri on the ITV gameshow, with the latter drawing attention from the fans.

Viewers took to Twitter and said Ceri resembled Breaking Bad character Walter White, played by Bryan Cranston.

"Nice to see Walter White making an appearance on #thechase," one fan said.

Another wrote: "This bloke on #TheChase looks a bit like Walter White."

While a third added: "What’s Walter White doing on the chase? #TheChase."

Unfortunately for Ceri, he was unable to reach the final round, but his teammates Russell and Alison were successful in reaching the last round.

However, they were unable to defeat 'The Beast' as he caught the pair's score of 17 with 19 seconds remaining.

The team got the chance of four push back attempts, but were only able to capitalise on one of them.

Earlier this month, viewers thought former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was competing on the quiz show after stepping down from his party's top job.

But it turned out Corbyn was not trying his luck on the telly, and the contestant was in fact John, a retired History teacher from Warwick.

The history buff strongly resembled the famous politician complete with white hair, bushy beard and modest clothing.

The Chase viewers were shocked at the doppelganger and rushed to Twitter to as "Is that Jeremy Corbyn?";

 "I just turned on and it looks like Jeremy Corbyn is up against The Beast," wrote one fan on Twitter, while another added: "Doesn't he look like Jeremy Corbyn?"
