The Chase ‘s Anne Hegerty is famous for her sharp tongue, and Jamie Theakston was at her mercy this evening.
In a recycled episode of The Chase Celebrity Special, The Governess took a brutal swipe at the radio presenter – leaving Bradley Walsh in shock.
Ahead of his performance, Jamie, who is longtime pals with presenter Brad, confessed he was “terrified” about facing the Chaser.
He admitted: “I’m not going to lie to you Bradley I’m terrified.”
Trying to console his friend, Brad replied: “Really, but you’re a clever man?”

Later, however, Anne gave Jamie a reason to feel fearful, as she poked fun at his intelligence in front of the studio audience.
She started by praising his cash builder round, in which Jamie earned a modest £5,000.
However, the praise soon took a more biting turn as she referred to his morning radio show on Heart FM.

While Jamie currently presents the show with Amanda Holden and Ashley Roberts, at the time of filming, he was joined by Spice Girl star Emma Bunton.
As savage as ever, Anne quipped: “You always sound quite intelligent on the radio. But although your co-host is a Spice Girl so how hard can that be.”
Brad immediately started yelping, as he exclaimed: “Brutal!”

Later, Anne took another swipe after Jamie decided to opt for the middle offer – turning down the risky high offer of £50,000.
She snapped: “Wimp!”
Defending his friend, Brad responded: “You want to watch it love. None of that ‘wimp’ malarky with us.”
However, Jamie later proved no match for Anne’s quiz skills, as she booted him out of the competition in the second round.
Bidding the radio star farewell, she softened up, and said: “He would have been an asset to the team so yes, I’m glad he’s gone.”
