AS THE fearsome “Governess”, Anne Hegerty has established herself as the steely matriarch of the nation’s favourite early evening quiz show on ITV.
But you might not know too much about the background of the formidable star of The Chase who’s now down under for I’m A Celebrity 2018.
Who is Anne Hegerty?
Anne Hegerty was born on July 14, 1958, in Westminster, London, and grew up in the Wood Green in North London.
She is a competitive quizzer who has appeared on Mastermind twice and reached the semi-finals of BBC quiz spin-off show Are You An Egghead in 2008.
Anne has also starred on Brain of Britain, and in 2017 was ranked in 65th place in the World Quizzing Championships.
However, she is best known for appearing as one of the chasers on the much-loved ITV daytime quiz show The Chase in the fearsome guise of “The Governess”, a role she has performed since 2010.
The quiz boffin chose the nickname herself over the original suggestion “The Headmistress” as she claimed it was “more kinky”, and also appears on the programme’s Australian version.
Her steely demeanour and withering putdowns of hapless contestants have earned Anne the nickname “Frosty Knickers” on the show.
Anne, who lives in Manchester, keeps many of the details of her private life private, and her marital status isn’t known.
Does Anne have autism?
Appearing on Loose Women in 2017, Anne revealed that she had been diagnosed with high-functioning autism in 2005 – and her struggles with the condition had left her with crippling debts.
However, her life was turned around with the assistance of a social worker, Jeff Mackenzie, who helped her to get her finances in order, and secured her audition for The Chase.
What’s Anne said about taking part in I’m A Celebrity 2018?
Anne is swapping quiz shows for Bushtucker Trials, appearing on this year’s series of ITV’s I’m A Celebrity.
She told The Sun: “The show bosses seem more anxious about my autism than I do. They keep saying, ‘You must say if there’s a problem’, and I keep saying, ‘ I’ll be fine.’ And they keep saying, ‘no no no that’s not good enough you have to promise if there’s a problem’.
“I might get peopled out, there might just be too many people around. I might feel like going to sit in the pool until everyone has shut up a bit. On the other hand it might have advantages if I’m not as good as other people at picking up on bad atmospheres I’ll be happy drifting along.”
LATEST FROM THE CHASE
What else has Anne Hegerty appeared in?
Anne has appeared alongside a fellow chaser Mark Labbett on an episode of Celebrity Juice, and was a guest on BBC Radio 4’s I’m Sorry I Haven’t a clue in December 2017.
Her steely persona has made her a regular fixture on the pantomime circuit, with the 59-year-old performing in the likes of Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk and Beauty and the Beast.
Most recently, she starred as The Empress of China in Aladdin over the Christmas 2017 season.
From January 2018, Anne started hosting the quiz show Britain’s Brightest Family on ITV.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
