Anne’s warning to ITV bosses
The Governess’ exciting news comes after she issued the show’s producers with a warning.
During a chat with the Oxford University debating society, Mark Labbett reportedly revealed that producers are after new blood for a Chaser role on the show.
However, according to The Sun, Anne didn’t react too kindly to this.
“They have tried out a few 20 year olds for The Chase as quizzers,” she said.
“I would be more than [bleeped] off if I was replaced because she would not be as good as me,” she continued.
“Nobody is about to replace me.”
