The first player, Dave, started strong, earning a solid £6,000 for the team.

Gabrielle wasn't so lucky, as she only managed £2,000 after some tough questions in the cash builder before being eliminated in the head-to-head.

However, fans of The Chase show were more distracted by the youthful appearance of Joseph from Liverpool.

And the musician soon astonished fans of the show with his true age.

While many thought Joseph was in his twenties, it was actually revealed that he is, in fact, 41-years-old.

Shocked by the discovery, viewers soon took to Twitter to express their thoughts on the shocking reveal.

One viewer questioned: “Wait a minute. Joseph is 41? I guess he was in his early twenties.”

Echoing their comments, someone else said: “There’s no way Joseph is 41. He looks like he’s about 25.”

Another person quipped: "I want whatever moisturiser Joseph is using because looks so young.”

Fortunately, Joseph's extra years proved beneficial as he scored £5,000 in the cash builder.

He then faced a one-question shootout with Mark Labbett in the head-to-head, but successfully made it through to the final, where he won £11,000.

The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV.
