Dermot, is that you?
Fans watching ITV game show The Chase were left distracted last night after a contestant was mistaken for This Morning host Dermot O’Leary.
The game show, hosted by Bradley Walsh, welcomed a new set of contestants during Thursday’s episode (February 27). However, viewers were immediately caught off guard after Harry introduced himself.
