I'm out of bed again!'”Gaining 350 likes for her remark, which was even more likes than Jenny’s original tweet, others commented with numerous laughing emoji’s.One of those who liked Anne’s reply was former Countdown star Carol Vorderman, who has her own wicked sense of humour.In line with Anne’s reply, others defended Jenny, whose Chaser nickname is The Vixen.One user under the name Hazel commented: “I don't know what they're on about.“I've never met you, but you were the chaser when my Mam was on and she said you were fab.” (sic)And another added: “Jenny don’t listen to them I don’t care what anyone else says but u are an amazing person who is so nice and respectful.U are the vixen.

I guess we’ll just have to put up with it.”Based on the pattern of recruitment over the last few years, it seems unlikely there will be another Chaser for some time. After the first series of The Chase, Anne joined Mark Labbett and Shaun Wallace in 2010.Paul Sinha was added the following year, after which changes to the panel occurred much more slowly.In 2015, Jenny Ryan became the fifth Chaser on the panel, while the most recent addition, Darragh Ennis, was introduced in 2020.This comes as Anne has a new sitcom in the works called Gammon, and is likely to branch her career away slightly from ITV.“The sitcom hasn’t actually been greenlit yet,” she told Express.co.uk.“We are hoping for someone to pick it up.
