Anne Hegerty's life away from 'The Governess', her fake husband and autism diagnosis

Anne Hegerty is one of ITV's most recognisable faces after she accepted the role of The Chaser all the way back in 2010.

Taking the title of "The Governess" in the daytime quiz show, The Chase, and running with it, Anne launched a hugely successful television career which saw her branch off on a multitude of shows including DNA Journey and Cooking With The Stars.

Anne is known for being extremely private about her personal life but her stint on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! allowed viewers to get a sneak peek into what makes The Governess tick. She shared details of starting her life as a reporter in the mid-80s at the South Wales Argus before hopping to Manchester to follow a career in ghost-writing.
