Itv the chase host bradley walsh left confused by contestant's link

THE CHASE VIEWERS RUSHED TO SOCIAL MEDIA TO SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS AFTER THEY SAW THE LATEST BATCH OF CONTESTANTS ON THE ITV SHOW 15:42, 20 May 2025 The Chase enthusiasts didn't miss a

beat when they noticed an amusing connection between the contestants' names on the show. The latest episode featured four fresh contenders, Alvin, Simone, Theo, and Dave, ready to face

off against one of Britain's top quiz maestros for a sizeable cash prize. Bradley Walsh welcomed them onto the ITV programme. The foursome, strangers until the show, hoped to outwit the

Chaser—Shaun Wallace, aka 'The Dark Destroyer'. However, eagle-eyed viewers were quick to take to social media to highlight the humorous coincidence among the player's names.

A viewer was amused by the "Chipmunks reference", while another chortled: "Are they all Chipmunks?" A third added: "It's the Chipmunks. Dave, and then Alvin,

Simon, Theodore!" And yet another remarked: "Alvin, Simone and Theo on The Chase. They knew what they were doing there right? Please tell me they did." The Chaser Shaun also

caught onto the reference commenting: "It's the cast of Alvin and the Chipmunks." Host Bradley responded: "I'm sorry I've never seen that, that was completely

lost on me," reports the Liverpool Echo. Article continues below In the beloved 2007 family flick, three chipmunks with a knack for singing—Alvin, Simon, and Theodore—set their sights

on stardom in the music world, under the care of Dave Seville until discovered by a music producer. Viewers couldn't help but chuckle at the coincidence of Alvin, Simone, Theo, and Dave

appearing together on 'The Chase'. However, this isn't the first occasion the series has seen a group of contestants with intriguingly interconnected names. An episode

recently had viewers chuckling with an Avengers twist, featuring players named Tony, Steve, Thor, and Natasha, a fact that didn't go unnoticed by fans or The Menace who made a quip on

the matter. Earlier in the year, a "cheesy" event occurred when eagle-eyed viewers spotted names resembling cheeses - think Gordon Ola as Gorgonzola and Leslie Dale for Wensleydale

on the popular ITV quiz programme. On his regular quest for knowledge, Shaun faced off against Dave from Northumberland, who notched up £7,000 in the Cash Builder and nabbed a spot in the

finale following an impressive round. Theo was eager to match Dave's success; however, after a nail-biting quick-fire session, Theo was eliminated by The Dark Destroyer's swift

takedowns. Simone crossed the pond from the USA for her chance at quiz glory. She chose caution over risk and brought back a modest £1,000 to the pot. With high hopes, Alvin stepped up as

the last contestant aiming to reach the final but found his efforts thwarted by The Chaser's relentless pursuit. Article continues below In a tense final chase, Simone and Dave could

only muster an 11-point lead, insufficient to best The Dark Destroyer who sent them home with over half a minute spare, ensuring they left with nothing but the experience.
