The Chase fans were quick to spot a connection between the contestants tonight (March 24).
As four new players lined up to try and win a cash prize, viewers noticed all of the players had the same name as iconic actors in the American soap Friends.
Bradley welcomed Courtney, Matt, Jennifer and David to the show and social media soon lit up as fans spotted the hilarious coincidence.

“Looks like we have some "friends" on #TheChase,” said one viewer.
Another viewer quipped: “The one where the contestants came as Friends #TheChase,” while a third added: “Friends actors theme tonight #thechase.”
"OMG FRIENDS CAST," added another, followed by a gif of Jennifer Aniston.
Even chaser Darragh ‘the menace’ Ennis pointed out the hilarious comparison.
“It looks like the cast of Friends are here today,” he said.
He continued to mock player Courtney’s £3k cash builder prize, saying: “maybe it would have been better if we casted Lisa instead,” referring to Friends star Lisa Kudrow.
But fans were further stunned to realize that host Bradley Walsh has never seen a single episode of the hit comedy series.
In response to Darragh’s quip about casting Lisa instead of Courtney, he said: “Darn I missed it again. Mind you I’ve never seen Friends so I wouldn’t know. But matt Jennifer, Curtney and David – I get it! Thanks for that. I never notice that stuff.”
Fans were quick to comment on the star having never seen the popular show.
“Brad has never seen Friends!!” said one shocked fan.
“The one where Brad has never seen Friends”,” said another, while a third blasted him for sharing too much information on his personal TV preferences.
“Why does Brad always have to tell everyone what he has NEVER seen? (and he seems proud of it too.) Doesn't make you a better person coz you've never seen something most other people have seen. No-one gives a sh*t if you have never seen Friends”
David was unsuccessful in his against the chaser having been caught first leaving the team with just three players.
Ladies Courtney and Jennifer sailed back to the podium bringing a total of £5k.
Player Matt was up fourth and bagged a nice £6k for the prize pot, bringing the players’ total to £11k in the final chase.
The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
