The Chase star Anne 'The Governess' Hegerty has been replaced with a brand new quizzer on the hit show Beat The Chaser.
Issa ‘The Supernerd’ Schultz comes from the Aussie version of The Chase to take over in the big seat.

Mark 'The Beast' Labbett, Jenny 'The Vixen' Ryan, Paul 'The Sinnerman' Sinha, Darragh 'The Menace' Ennis, and Shaun 'The Dark Destroyer' Wallace all welcomed Issa on The Chase.
And Shaun wrote online: "The Super Nerd was just super! Issa it was an absolute pleasure to work with you again. I hope that will happen sooner rather than later."
Issa responded: "So awesome sitting alongside you good sir! Your knowledge is sensational and you made me feel right at home. Looking forward to next time."
Someone asked "Where was Anne?", and Anne later wrote on Twitter : "Unfortunately I’ve contracted Covid-19 so won’t be filming this series of #BeatTheChasers.
"The fantastic @Issa25 will be stepping in for me and I’m looking forward to watching the series when it’s on air later this year. I feel fine, but I'm still positive! (in all respects)".
