The Chase star Jenny Ryan supported by fans after making 'last day' statement

Jenny Ryan from ITV's The Chase has received plenty of supportive from fans on social media after making a "last day" announcement.

The quiz expert, given the nickname The Vixen on the popular game show, joined back in 2015 after being recommended by fellow chaser Anne Hegerty who she appeared on quiz teams with.

She recently revealed that she treats quizzing like a "professional sport" during a chat with Good Morning Britain hosts Ben Shepherd and Charlotte Hawkins, Liverpool Echo reports.

Talking about the endless studying required for quizzing, Jenny said: "You have to keep on top of the news, everything is changing everyday.

"There's something new to learn all the time so you have to be in work mode and keep up with the things that are changing in the world."

She later addressed rumours chasers sometimes "throw" a game out of pity for the contestants. Jenny said: "We can't afford to let our competitive instinct drop at any point. We are there to win every single match.

"We might feel guilty afterwards if we prevented a few extra quid going to charity maybe but we still have to keep up that will to win and we're as focused as ever."

Jenny recently shared an update with fans on her Instagram account, showing a picture collage with fellow Chasers and host Bradley Walsh.

Captioning the post, she said: "It's the last day of voting for your faves! Let the @officialntas know who you want to see nominated for the 2023 awards by making your selections on their official website today...

"By chance the gang at @itvchase are longlisted in Best Daytime and Best Quiz. Just saying."

Fans rushed to show their support in the comments section, with one saying: "Have voted. Go on girl!"

Another said: "We love you Jenny, good luck", and a third wrote: "Best of luck, Jenny. You’ve been on top form this series catching a 21, 20 and missing out on a 22 by one step twice."

Another fan penned: "Good luck! My fave chaser!"
