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 .

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 , 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.

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.
