Chaser Anne Hegerty has firmly denied reports that Bradley Walsh could be leaving The Chase.
Anne, who plays The Governess on t he ITV show, has appeared alongside Bradley since 2010.
There has never been any suggestion from ITV or Bradley that he was leaving the quiz show, but Anne took to social media to clear up the rumours.
Addressing recent bookies' speculation that Bradley may be departing the series, Anne hit back at the suggestion that either she or Bradley will be departing the popular quiz show - reports Mirror Online.
Anne tweeted: "Firstly, Brad isn't leaving.
"Secondly, I'm not leaving. Thirdly, I'm a woman and I DO present an ITV gameshow (Britain's Brightest Celebrity Family)."
Anne also barred replies beyond accounts that she follows or mentioned in the tweet itself.
The speculation about Bradley's future on the show first began when new spin-off series The Chase EXTRA was announced.
It will see the Chasers - including Mark ‘The Beast' Labbett, Anne ‘The Governess’ Hegerty, Paul ‘The Sinnerman’ Sinha, Jenny ‘The Vixen’ Ryan, Shaun ‘The Dark Destroyer’ Wallace and Darragh ‘The Menace’ Ennis - helm their own episodes as quiz masters. There will be no overall host.

After the spin-off was announced betting giant Paddy Power slashed its odds of Bradley leaving The Chase to 10/11.
Phillip Schofield was their 4/1 favourite to replace the current host, while Dermot O'Leary (6/1) and Shane Ritchie (8/1) were also in the running to play quizmaster.
But Anne has confirmed this won't be the case and that Bradley is going nowhere.
*The Chase continues on weekdays at 5pm on ITV and is available on catch-up on ITV Hub.
