After conquering the jungle in I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! back in 2018, she reckons there’s no topping that wild ride, stating nothing else compares to the high of the jungle. Quoted by the Daily Star’s HotTV column, Anne made it clear: “The jungle is about as big as you can get. Everything else is a bit of a step down. I don’t want to do another reality show unless it involves something I want to get better at. I think I’m done.”
She continues to share the spotlight with her fellow brainboxes Jenny Ryan, Paul Sinha, Darragh Ennis, Mark Labbett and Shaun Wallace on The Chase.
Anne reckons that the remarkable success of ‘The Chase’ since its inception in 2009 is largely down to the charm and wit of Bradley Walsh.
In a conversation with Best magazine, she explained: “Great formats and a brilliant host! You can tune into ‘The Chase’ at any point during the hour, catch up with it very quickly and be absorbed by it. But our secret weapon is Bradley Walsh – everybody loves Bradley.”
“He was made to do these programmes – they just suit him down to the ground. I love being able to throw out a bizarre fact and he will run with it and make a joke out of it.”
Her admiration was evident as she added: “I love the way he latches on to the things I say.”
