One of the stars of The Chase has revealed she doesn’t mind the idea of becoming a ‘dominatrix’, as she thinks that there are already fans who see her that way.

All of the Chasers on the ITV quiz show make very formidable opponents, striking fear into the hearts of contestants with their extensive general knowledge and intimidating nicknames.

The Governess, aka Anne Hegerty, is certainly revered among fans of the series and participants alike, always making a strong entrance in her belted suit.

In a new interview ahead of the programme’s 15th anniversary, Anne admitted that she ‘hates’ the costume that she has to wear while she’s in character.

‘I’m sure there must be some people who see me as a “dominatrix” and I quite like the idea!’ the 66-year-old told The Sun.

‘I hate my costume, it’s an open secret. Honestly, if I’d had my way I would have been wearing a lot of rubber and fishnet tights, high heels and a wig. Wouldn’t that be good.’

Anne, who competed on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2018, has been a part of The Chase since 2010.

The series is hosted by Bradley Walsh and also boasts other quick-witted Chasers including The Sinnerman Paul Sinha, The Vixen Jenny Ryan and The Menace Darragh Ennis.

Anne disclosed that she receives lots of ‘offers’ from admirers who’ve seen her on TV.

However, she shared that she would rather maintain the friendships that she has with the men in her life.

‘Let’s say I would not be short of offers if I went looking,’ she stated.

‘But I am happy with my own company, I’ve had relationships go wrong precisely because I could not devote the mental energy to it, and I just thought “no, no, no, this is not a good idea”.

‘I find men make such great friends — so let’s keep them like that.’

In addition to The Chase and I’m A Celeb, Anne has also appeared on TV shows in the past including Britain’s Brightest Family, Mastermind, Beat the Chasers and The Chasers Road Trip: Trains, Brains and Automobiles.

The Chase is available to watch on ITVX.
