Anne Hegerty: The Chase quizzer reassures viewers as she defends new show


Quiz expert Anne Hegarty, 62, has just been announced as part of the line-up for a brand new The Chase spin-off called Beat the Chasers. The quiz show favourite took to Twitter to reassure concerned fans that the show won’t interfere with the original show’s format.

After a confused fan said they had applied four times and mistook the spin-off for a rebrand of the original The Chase, Anne reassured the Twitter user that this was certainly not the case.

Anne replied: “I doubt you’ve applied four times for a new show that’s just been commissioned and has a different name! #beatthecahsers.”

Another concerned user wrote: “Don’t mess too much with an already brilliant format!”

Anne hit back by saying that the spin-off is an original new show, with a whole new format.

“The contestants are brave facing one Chaser, let alone all five.

“With that group of top quizzing brains working as a team, it’s going to take some beating. But I can’t wait to see who’s going to take them on.”

Anne is known for replying to fans queries, and earlier this month reassured worried viewers that The Chase was not cancelled.

After the series disappeared from ITV schedules a viewer tweeted Anne: “Why is @ITV getting rid of The Chase @ITVChase @anne_hegerty @MarkLabbett @jenlion.”
