The Chase fans say same thing as 'best contestant ever' brings 'family' onto set
The Chase viewers branded one contestant "one of the best they had ever seen" as he brought a friend onto the ITV show.
On Monday, March 18, fans of ITV's The Chase hosted by Bradley Walsh were charmed by a Welsh contestant who appeared on the show with his guide dog. Amongst those pitting their wits against Mark 'The Beast' Labbett in a repeat episode from February 2022 was Lloyd Davies and his three year old labradoodle, Harvey, from Manorbier, near Tenby.
Lloyd did well in the cash-builder round, bagging a tidy £5,000. But, unfortunately, he ended up being ousted by The Beast towards the start of the game.
Despite this, viewers found themselves more focused on Harvey, deeming him as the "best contestant ever" on social media platform X, which used to be Twitter.
Comments like "Like everyone else, I'm cheering on Harvey and Lloyd! " and "Harvey is the star of todays show," poured in. Others remarked that "Harvey best contestant ....EVER,"while someone else left a sweet note saying, "What a delightful doglette."

Another fan believed that "Lloyd and Harvey deserve to win everything."
Lloyd, speaking to South Wales Guardian about his 2022 appearance on The Chase, said: "It was a phenomenal experience to be on The Chase, as I've always wanted to take part.
"After I started losing my sight when I was 20, it was one of the few programmes I could follow because there are so many verbal clues and sounds."

"Everybody loved Harvey, and he was so well-behaved. He's an amazing advert for guide dogs. And in fact, I had an Instagram message from Guide Dogs UK saying 'You and Harvey did amazingly', which was really nice."
The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV1.
