OHMYGOSSIP — Anne Hegerty has blasted suggestions she “cheats” on ‘The Chase’.
The 65-year-old quizzer – who is known on the show as The Governess – admitted she gets infuriated when viewers don’t believe she genuinely knows the answers to the tough questions on the popular programme.
She told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: “I get people saying all sorts of things. They ask me if I cheat. They say, ‘You’ve got someone in your ears telling you the answers’.
“Others say Bradley reads the questions faster for the Chasers. I’ve checked with a stopwatch and he doesn’t do that. If the show did any of that, wouldn’t they get six better-looking people?
“There are always going to be cynical people, but we have independent adjudicators – there’s nothing secret happening. It wouldn’t work if it wasn’t all above board.”
Anne urged people to go up against her and her fellow quizzers if they truly want to test their talents as she doesn’t think it’s worth trying to defend herself verbally.
She said: “Sometimes I respond and sometimes I think, ‘Oh, just go away… you’ve been saying this for 14 years… just shove off’.
“It’s not really worth it. People are always trying to find a reason not to trust something – they think they’re really clever.
“If people want to see how good we are, they can go against us. We’re always going to quizzes that are public. I go to quizzes a lot to maintain my skills. Sometimes I lose and sometimes I win.”
Despite the occasional negative comment, Anne has no plans to walk away from the programme or spin-off show ‘Beat The Chasers’.
She said: “I couldn’t imagine a better job.”
