The Chase's Anne Hegerty had bailiffs knocking on her door before finding quiz fame

The Chase's Anne Hegerty shared how she once had bailiffs knocking at the door of her home before she found fame.

The Governess has been a staple of the ITV quiz show for over a decade and sent home countless contestants without a penny after flexing her trivia knowledge skills. She acts as arguably the most daunting chaser but her tough demeanour is a far cry from the best friend she is to the rest of the world.

Anne, 64, is now one of six chasers: Darragh Ennis, Shaun Wallace and Jenny Ryan, as well as Paul Sinha and Mark Labbett round out the cast, with everyone acting as a family. She's gone on to become a beloved reality staple but remains humble in her personal life.
