But the bearded contestant immediately caught Bradley's eye, who was left stunned at his striking resemblance to the Phone Booth actor, 46.

Bradley introduced the contestant to the show and asked him what he liked to do in his spare time.

"I like to watch films, either going to the cinema or at home," Phil said.

Bradley asked: "New films or old films?"

The presenter added: "Has no one ever said that to you that before?"

But Phil admitted that he'd not heard that one before, with Bradley turning to the other contestants and said: "He looks just like Colin Farrell."
