Immediately, those watching at home took to Twitter to compare the Accountant from Belfast to her political lookalike.

“Theresa May found time to sit in seat 3,” said one viewer.

“Theresa May is that you” asked a second.

Another said: “The chase seat 3,” followed by a gif of Theresa giving a speech at a podium.

While a fourth added: “I guess Theresa May has nothing better to do than go one gameshows nowadays.”

Sonya bagged £5k in her head to head with Bradley before taking on Anne ‘The Baronness’ Hegerty, where she added £5k to the prize pot.

The show has featured many lookalike contestants over the years.

Viewers dubbed contestant Ellis and chaser Jenny the battle of the barnets aa the two shares the same beehive hairstyle.

Fans were also stunned after realizing a contestant was the double of MBE and Tottenham Hotspur legend, Jimmy Greaves.

And earlier this year, fans were left open-mouthed after a contestant bore striking similarities to a rather famous Netflix star.

With her spectacles and perfectly styled hair on show, viewers were soon in unison that contestant Laura looked like Anna Delvey from Inventing Anna.

Taken aback by their likeness, someone said: "I didn't realise I was watching Inventing Anna!".
