Stacey Solomon proved you can’t judge a book by its cover when she crushed her opponent on ITV quiz show The Chase.
The Loose Women star, 27, has often been labelled ditzy and stupid for her TV persona, but even her own fans were left in shock as she flew through a round of quick-fire questions, landing £60,000 for the prize pot on Sunday.
The highlight of the celeb special show was the moment she correctly matched a Blondie lyric to the song The Tide Is High, as she faced former journalist and The Chase pro Anne Hegerty.
Suffice to say, viewers were a bit surprised…
Not sure if I've drunk too much or whether Stacey Solomon did actually win £60k on the Chase.

Of course, there was the traditional touch of trolling, but the former X Factor star has played it super cool.
Especially when it comes to claims that she “pretends” to be stupid…
@Our_manPLA I don't pretend to be stupid. I just like to smile and haven't been for elocution lessons 👍🏼
