The Chase star Anne Hegerty says she has given up on relationships and that being single is “brilliant”.
Anne, also known as the Governess on the ITV quiz for more than a decade, said: “I still get attracted to people, but there’s no point in pursuing it.”
The autistic star explained: “Quite apart from the fact that I’m probably not his type... I’m going to leave him very baffled and wondering what he’s done wrong. I love being isolated.
“It’s brilliant. I really don’t feel I’m missing out on relationships. I’m doing fine.”
She says friends have always complained to her about being in bad relationships and that she advises them: “Just be on your own!”
Anne knows what it’s like to be adored though.
The 62-year-old says The Chase is so popular in New Zealand, she is “worshipped like a god” whenever she goes there and added: “I can’t walk down the street in Auckland without being mobbed.”
The quiz icon is currently on two ITV shows, hosting Britain’s Brightest Celebrity Family alongside her Chase job.
Viewers may see a different side to her, as she says the Governess is “more of an act than some people think”.
Anne said: “She is modelled a little bit on my grandmother and one of my aunts. She is the me that comes out if someone makes me indignant.”
*Anne hosts Britain’s Brightest Celebrity Family, Thursdays at 8:30pm on ITV.
