The Chasers Road Trip star Anne Hegerty has clapped back as she was criticised for walking away from an activity.
On Thursday night’s episode, Anne and her co-stars Mark Labbett and Shaun Wallace visited a country music venue in the US.
However, Anne became overwhelmed due to her autism and had to take a break on the side.

As they walked in, people were on the dance floor as music was playing.
The trio then took to the dance floor but Anne started to look overwhelmed.
She told the camera: “One of the things that quite often goes along with autism is certain sensory issues.
“It’s about not really liking noise to come out at me – especially if I am feeling a bit tired or stressed.”
Anne added: “Sometimes I need to just take myself away, have a bit of quiet, jump on the WiFi, do a bit of online quizzing and I’m fine.”
Anne is then seen sitting at the side on her phone as she enjoyed some quiet time.
Many viewers praised Anne on Twitter for taking herself out of the situation.
However, one person tweeted: “Anne has an excuse for everything.”
Anne then replied: “Ruled out on medical grounds!” referring to her time in the I’m A Celebrity jungle when she was often ruled out of Bushtucker trials on medical grounds.
Ruled out on medical grounds! 😆
