The Chase: Contestant beat Anne Hegerty in the first round

The Chase’s Anne Hegerty was forced to miss the entire Beat The Chasers spin-off trivia series.

The Governor will be very sad to be absent from ITV’s next series after catching Covid.

The former I’m A Celebrity star had to switch to filming alongside her fellow Chasers Mark Labbett, Jenny Ryan, Paul Sinha, Shaun Wallace and Darragh Ennis, and took to Twitter to reveal who will replace her .

Anne, 63, said she is doing her best to maintain optimism and will be watching to see Issa Shultz, from the Australian version of The Chase, take her place temporarily.

She wrote: “Unfortunately, I have contracted Covid-19 so will not be filming this #BeatTheChasers series.

“The amazing @ Issa25 will follow in my footsteps and I’m looking forward to seeing the drama when it airs later this year. I feel fine, but I’m still optimistic! (In every way)”.

One of her followers joked: “I wonder if Issa has been given a ‘How to Survive Bradley Walsh’ guidebook?”

Another told her: “We were in the audience yesterday for a taping and we all definitely miss our beloved Frosty Knickers, but Issa is absolutely amazing and it’s lovely to see him participating. family. I’m glad you’re feeling well.”

As her followers shared their stories of avoiding Covid for two years before catching it, Anne added: “Yes, I changed it for two years too, assuming it was just a cold cold, is an LFT on the safe side…”

Last year, Anne revealed that she had given up on relationships after realizing how “wonderful” it was to be single.

She told the Mirror: ‘I’m still attracted to people, but there’s no point pursuing it.

“Totally different from the fact that I’m probably not his type… I would leave him very confused and wonder what he did wrong. I like being isolated.

“It’s amazing. I really don’t feel like I’m missing out on relationships. I’m fine.”

And she says that when her friends complain to her about having bad relationships, she tells them to “just let it go.”

* The Chase airs at 5pm on weekdays on ITV
