The Chase player leaves viewers amazed by his real age – but can you guess it?

The Chase viewers were left scratching their heads tonight after hearing the age of a contestant called Sandy.

Sandy appeared on the ITV1 game show on Monday evening and told viewers he is a 30-year-old marketing assistant.

But fans of the show were left puzzled by the player's admission.

Taking to the Twitter, one asked: "30? Did I hear right? #thechase."

Another commented: "Sandy is not 30 #thechase."

A third quipped: "30 my a*** #thechase."

Later in the show, Sandy, from Peterborough, told The Chase's host Bradley Walsh that he is a keen poet.

However, he added that he has a "current residency in a chip shop".

Chaser, Mark 'The Beast' Labbett, went on to joke: "I had residency in a chip shop - it was all you can eat."

Mark has undergone a dramatic transformation in recent years, having shed 10 stone in weight by ditching junk food - such as chips.

Meanwhile, Sandy made it to the Final Chase, but unfortunately walked away empty handed alongside fellow contestants Dianne and Derek.

This is despite him buzzing in and answering nearly all the questions during the quick-fire last round.

The trio had managed to bank £14,000 earlier in the show.

But although he made several stumbles, Mark beat the contestants.
