Anne Hegerty secured her job on The Chase after "fighting off muggers".
The ITV quiz star has been a regular member on the game show since 2010, just a year after it made its debut on ITV, hosted by Bradley Walsh. At the time, bosses were keen to have a female Chaser come into the mix and it was what Anne put in her letter that convinced show producers she was definitely the right one to sit alongside the other quizzers.
ITV boss Sue Allison has revealed just how The Governess managed to bag her longstanding job on the show, as she opened up about the contents of the letter Anne sent in to pitch herself for the role.
