Jenny Ryan has revealed that she wasn't always going to be called 'The Vixen' on The Chase.
Every Chaser on the show has a nickname - from Mark 'The Beast Labbett' to Anne 'The Governess' Hegerty.
But prior to joining the program in 2015, bosses told Jenny her nickname would be 'The Cougar'.

However, Jenny admitted to producers she wasn't a fan.
Speaking on Lorraine, Jenny said: "When I first started I had a test run, a bit of a screen test in the studio with Brad hosting.
"Just as a chemistry kind of test really. And I had my hair in this big ponytail.
"The producers had been trying to work out what my nickname should be, and they wanted something animal-y because I like a lot of animal print.
"And they suggested 'The Cougar', and I said, 'no, because I'm too young to be a cougar'."
Luckily, Bradley Walsh was on hand to come up with a more suitable name.

Jenny added: "Brad came up with 'The Vixen', because of the red hair, it looks like a fox's brush.
"And foxes are really intelligent animals and really cunning, and could be quite fast."
