THE Chase's Bradley Walsh was left stunned by a player's very unusual name that she shares with iconic band.

Thursday's instalment of the ITV show saw four new contestants take on The Governess AKA Anne Hegerty in a bid to win some money.

Tracey, Geoff, Duran and Nick tried their best to show off their knowledge during their time on the programme.

When management graduate Duran, 28, stepped up to take on Anne, 63, host Bradley couldn't help but point out her unique moniker.

Bradley, 61, said: "What a name that is by the way! That's an absolute beauty."

However Duran didn't seem to that bothered by ner name.

She replied: "My parents didn't even like Duran Duran, they just decided to be cruel with it I think. I was the youngest so they thought they'd have a bit of fun."

Bradley asked if their names were "quite different", to which she added: "No they've all got very normal names. I'm the unfortunate one."

A shocked Bradley replied: "Do you think?! Do you not like it?! "

"You should try having people singing Rio every single day when they hear your name. It's exhausting. "

Duran Duran are a English new wave group that formed in 1978.

The band was originally made up of Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Roger Taylor, and Andy Taylor. 

But over the years there have been many who have joined and left the group.

The current members are Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and Roger Taylor.

Many viewers took to Twitter to share the love over Duran's name.
