The Chase star Jenny Ryan flooded with support as she shares plea for the show

The Chase star Jenny Ryan has been flooded with support as she shared a plea for the ITV show.

The professional quizzer, known as The Vixen, has been putting contestants to the test since 2015.

However, Jenny was using her impressive general knowledge long before appearing on screens as she wrote questions for The Chase's pilot episode in 2009.

She was recommended by fellow Chaser Anne Hegerty, who knew each other through quizzing

Yet, Jenny, 41, has now taken to social media to ask her followers for help.

Taking to Instagram, she posted a collage of herself with her co-stars and host Bradley Walsh.

In a caption, she said: "It's the last day of voting for your faves! Let the @officialntas know who you want to see nominated for the 2023 awards by making your selections on their official website today...

"By chance the gang at @itvchase are longlisted in Best Daytime and Best Quiz. Just saying."

Fans wished Jenny well in the comments section as one said: "Have voted. Go on girl!" while another added: "We love you Jenny, good luck".

Someone else wrote: "Best of luck, Jenny. You've been on top form this series catching a 21, 20 and missing out on a 22 by one step twice."

Just last week Jenny revealed how the Chasers prepare to take on the contestants each episode.

She told Good Morning Britain hosts Ben Shephard and Charlotte Hawkins they study endlessly for the show.

"You have to keep on top of the news, everything is changing everyday.

"There's something new to learn all the time so you have to be in work mode and keep up with the things that are changing in the world."

Jenny has previously insisted there's "no bad blood" between the Chasers even though they are occasionally "furious" with each other when they appear on spin-off Beat the Chasers.

She stars alongside Mark Labbett, Shaun Wallace, Anne Hegerty, Paul Sinha and Darragh Ennis.

"There is a certain rivalry but it's not that bad blood kind of rivalry," she explained.

"We all want to be the best and, especially, you would think we might relax a bit when there's a contestant when they're doing really well you might think [we\d be like]: 'Oh you know what if they beat us...'

"All six of us we're just so competitive it's us against the questions as much as against each other.

"You might see a moment where we're furious with each other but that soon goes away – especially if we win!"

Jenny – who had previously appeared on other quiz shows such as Mastermind, Weakest Link and Only Connect – told how the quizzing team are a "bit of a handful" when they get together to film Beat The Chasers, so its a good job they only do it once a year.
