BEAT The Chasers fans had to do a double take tonight after noticing a contestant resembled boxing champ Tyson Fury.
Bald Richie had the same facial hair as the Gypsy King and dressed in a dapper three-piece suit which wouldn’t have looked out of place on the dapper fighter.
He even began his Chaser challenge with elaborate trash talk that would have his lookalike proud.
The theatrical contestant launched into a poem taking aim at each Chaser one by one.
It left Mark ‘The Beast’ Labbett looking seriously unimpressed.
Richie nearly reigned victorious, coming within seconds of a £25,000 jackpot.

The Vixen paid tribute to him, saying: “It was a real battle. Well played.”
Viewers posted about the celebrity lookalike on Twitter.
One wrote: “Oh it’s Tyson Fury #BeatTheChasers.”
A second said: “Tyson Fury anyone?”
A third typed: “If Tyson Fury and Simon Pegg had a son together…”
The series finale ended on a happy note with Irishman Brendan winning a massive £60,000.
He bravely took on a maximum of five Chasers, with a time advantage of 16 seconds.
Remaining calm and collected, he answered quickly to widen the time difference.
His arms were raised as confetti rained down and the Chasers gave him a standing ovation.
