Anne Hegerty, famous for being the Governess from ITV's The Chase, has revealed that she's not allowed to participate in certain other TV shows. She confessed before the TV Choice Awards 2024: "The trouble is I'm not allowed to do any others. I mean, I got tapped up for Celebrity Mastermind a few years ago, and the producer was like, 'Absolutely not, we are not letting you do it'."
She further stated: "I was invited on an Only Connect team before I got the job at The Chase, and I had to turn it down because I didn't think The Chase would like it if I got the job."
Meanwhile, Anne expressed to OK! Magazine her wish to see Stephen Fry take on the chasers: "I always say, wouldn't it be fantastic if we had Stephen Fry on, but I bet he wouldn't do it."

In addition, last year Anne, also known as Frosty Knickers, admitted she rejected Dancing On Ice to join a Christmas pantomime. As she told The Mirror: "I did have a try-out for Dancing On Ice because I would love to learn to ice skate."
"It was then discovered it was going to clash with panto, and the experience of being on a stage, working with an audience, getting to act and sing and be funny... I really valued that. I mean, I would just be one of those people who would be towed around behind a penguin and never actually let go. It would be quite sad."
