However, this time she was pictured in an appearing on the BBC One show, The Finish Line, hosted by Roman Kemp and Sarah Greene.
Another user stated: "Thought I recognised Bex."

While a fourth added: "I see Bex from ITV's #GeniusGame (yes I am still watching it but only for DT!) is a bit of a sneaky gamer. Now appearing on #TheFinishLine But... which came first!?!"
But, the contestant herself appeared to clap back as an account with her name and likeness wrote: "Dying. Filmed that so long ago."
