Anne Hegerty Discusses Pay and Camaraderie on The Chase

Anne Hegerty, known as 'The Governess' on the ITV quiz show 'The Chase', has revealed that she and her fellow chasers are paid per episode rather than receiving a fixed salary. This pay structure creates apprehension among the chasers about adding new members, as it would result in fewer episodes and reduced earnings for each chaser, which Hegerty emphasized at the TV Choice Awards. Despite this concern, Hegerty expressed no ill will towards Darragh Ennis, who joined the show in 2020, praising him as a valuable addition. Financially stable, Hegerty's company, Frosty Knickers Ltd, reported over £807,000 in the bank as of August 2023. She maintains a frugal lifestyle, influenced by her past experiences of living on benefits and her Scottish heritage. The camaraderie among the chasers remains strong, with Hegerty noting that they often spend time together off-screen, especially during joint appearances on 'Beat the Chasers'.
