Anne Hegerty has waded in on the claims about whether she has a “secret husband.” The ITV star, known for appearing on The Chase, was quizzed by the Loose Women panel about rumours that she’s married to an unknown man. Breaking her silence, she said: “I have no idea. Somebody vandalized my Wikipedia page and claimed that I was married to somebody called Jake Hester.” She added: “I have no idea if he even exists, I’ve certainly never met him. My brother didn’t help when he messaged me and said, ‘I’ve got to meet this guy!'”
Anne, known as ‘The Governess’ on the teatime staple, has been on The Chase since 2010. In 2018, she went into the jungle for ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ but isn’t interested in doing any other reality shows.

Anne appears on The Chase on rotation alongside Jenny Ryan, Paul Sinha, Darragh Ennis, Mark Labbett, and Shaun Wallace. The ITV show first aired in 2009 and has become one of the most iconic quiz shows on British television, where contestants must compete against ‘The Chasers.’
Hosted by Bradley Walsh, the fast-paced game involves players attempting to beat ‘The Chaser’, and walk away with a cash prize. Each Chaser has their own nickname and have found fame since the show launched, as well as starring in the spin-off ITV show, Beat the Chasers.
Since they landed on our television screens, the big question remains: who is the ultimate Chaser on TV?
Earlier this year, new research by Betway analysed factors like accuracy, win rate, and the highest target caught to rank the best Chaser of all time. Financially, Paul Sinha is the Chaser who comes out on top.
Paul ‘The Sinnerman’ Sinha boasts a 78 per cent win rate across 436 appearances on The Chase. His average target to beat is 19 and holds the highest average Chaser win total, raking in £14,651, making him the most financially successful chaser on the show.
Meanwhile, Mark ‘The Beast’ Labbett has a 76 per cent win rate over 475 episodes since he started in 2009. Labbett holds the record for the highest average target to beat, at 20, and the highest accuracy in the final chase, answering 83% of questions correctly.
Topping the ranks as the best Chaser on television is Anne. With 467 appearances and a win rate of 79% – the joint highest of any Chaser – it’s no surprise that she’s regarded as the most formidable opponent.
