Anne Hegerty has said she is taking a sabbatical from work as the coronavirus pandemic continues.
Filming for The Chase has been suspended due to COVID-19, resulting in ITV playing repeats in their 5pm slot.
But Anne said she is taking a break from work, after a fan asked if she had been furloughed.
The topic arose, when The Governess posted a selfie wearing a face covering, saying: "I have masks."
A fan replied to her on Wednesday, saying: "Knew you would be wearing one Anne, lol."
Anne said: "I got recognised in Tesco yesterday even with mask on!"
The social media user then asked: "Have you been furloughed?"
Anne replied: "Me? Not furloughed, just having a bit of a sabbatical."
