    Romance was in the air on Tuesday\u2019s episode of The Chase (September 12) after a contestant began flirting with chaser, Shaun Wallace.<\/p>\n

    Host Bradley welcomed the new batch of players to the ITV show, with Melanie, Abigail, Stanley and Darryl joining the panel.<\/p>\n

    But it was blonde stunner Melanie, 48, a catering assistant from Kingston, that caught everyone\u2019s eye after telling Brad she hoped it would be The Dark Destroyer appearing on the show.<\/p>\n

    When Shaun himself appeared as today\u2019s quizmaster, her face lit up, before Shaun said: \u201cHi Mel, how are you?\u201d to which she replied with a beaming smile, gushing: \u201cI\u2019m good all the better for seeing you.\u201d<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Bradley then dubbed it \u201ccringe\u201d \u2013 but it didn\u2019t end there.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI\u2019ve written a poem for you,\u2019 said Shaun, whipping out a piece of paper from his pocket when it was Mel\u2019s turn to take him on.<\/p>\n

    The poem read: \u201cCards by Shaun Wallace. I make cards that a reason to be glad. It doesn\u2019t matter how old you are that\u2019s a reason to be glad.\u201d<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Fans flocked to social media to comment.<\/p>\n

    \u201cWas Melanie and Shaun just flirting or is it just me?\u201d asked one fan.<\/p>\n

    \u201cMelanie fancies @TheShaunWallace,\u201d penned a second accompanie by a heart emoji. <\/p>\n

    \u201cMelanie is flirting with Shaun and he wrote a poem??? LOL!\u201d added a third. <\/p>\n

    Unfortunately, Melanie appeared to cave under the pressure of Shaun\u2019s charms and he was quick to catch her out and send her home. <\/p>\n

    \u201cit\u2019s a shame I\u2019ve had to knock someone as lovely as you out,\u201d Shaun gushed, as she thanked him for his kind words. <\/p>\n

    Bradley interrupted their tender moment, saying: \u201cwell it\u2019s too late now! Why didn\u2019t you think about that earlier,\u201d to which she added, \u201cyeah you should have got more wrong.\u201d <\/p>\n

    It was the start of a losing streak for the team as all players except Darryl were send home by Shuan. <\/p>\n

    Darryl managed to bag an impressive \u00a38k for the prize pot taking on Shaun in the final chase solo. <\/p>\n

    Darryl bagged 13 correct answers and after a poor performance from Shaun he was victorious and took home his winnings. <\/p>\n
