The Chase fans are all saying the same thing about contestant’s outfit as Bradley Walsh makes cheeky remarks

THE Chase viewers all thought a contestant looked like a famous movie spy as host Bradley Walsh made a cheeky joke.

Mark Campbell honoured his Scottish heritage and wore a kilt complete with matching green velour jacket.

Complete with a goatee and dark framed glasses, fans watching at home couldn't help but think he looked a little bit like iconic character, Austin Powers.

Their observations were further cemented when Mark told Bradley he'd buy his mum a Mini Cooper complete with a Union Jack painted on to the bonnet if he won big on the show.

"This bloke looks like he should be in Austin Powers," tweeted one fan.

"Turns on #thechase see austin powers and comes straight to twitter to double check its not just me."

Despite getting a couple of Scottish-related questions wrong, Mark impressed Bradley with his knowledge and traditional outfit.

But Bradley couldn't resist asking a cheeky question about his kilt after Mark said he kept his phone in his sporran – the traditional pouch that sits at the front of a kilt and serves as a pocket.

"Do you keep your phone on vibrate," he asked as the players giggled.

Mark had a cracking cash builder round and then confidently took on Chaser, Shaun 'The Dark Destroyer' Wallace.

He and two teammates – Kyle and Laura – narrowly missed out on winning £27,000 as the Chaser caught them with fours seconds to go.

"They played very, very well, but I was superb," Shaun said to laughs from the audience.
