Anne Hegerty has been on The Chase for more than a decade, and over the years has been accused of all sorts of things, including cheating and wearing an earpiece. However, the 65-year-old former I'm A Celebrity campmate has slammed the rumours and insisted there's 'nothing secret happening' on the ITV quiz show.
Speaking to the Daily Star, Anne revealed the ITV programme is also assessed by 'independent adjudicators' and rubbished the accusations. She said: '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?'
Anne also commented on a particular incident in 2021 when Bradley was accused of helping out a contestant. During the show, the question was: 'A 2018 set of stamps featuring which London palace depicts the Pond Gardens, Great Fountain Gardens and Maze?'. Anne jokingly accused Bradley of over-emphasising the word 'maze' as a clue to the player, as the correct answer was Hampton Court Palace.
The TV personality then went on to confirm that she has no intentions of quitting The Chase, saying: 'I’ve always said I’m with the show until it gets cancelled'. Anne added that she couldn't imagine the show without Bradley, and that she couldn't think of a suitable replacement, noting that 'it wouldn’t be the same without Brad'.
The Chase airs weekdays on ITV and ITVX at 5pm.
