The Chase's Anne Hegerty flirts with 'ridiculously cute' student

A player on The Chase was left blushing after Anne Hegerty called him “ridiculously cute” in a flirty moment on tonight’s repeated episode.

Tom, 19, was a History student, and The Governess certainly took a shine to him as he took her on in the ITV quizzing programme.

He completed his cash-builder and chase round against Anne before Anne made a flirty remark.

She said he was better than the £3k he made in his opening round, before leaving him red-faced by saying: “Plus, you are ridiculously cute… yes I’m going to enjoy this.”

A look of disgust appeared on presenter Bradley Walsh’s face as he exclaimed: “Yuck. Tom, quick run!”

Viewers flooded Twitter with comments, with many agreeing with The Governess.

One said: “Okay but Anne has a point Tom is cute ngl.”

While another wrote: “Anne the cougar!”

A third added: “Anne you’ve made him blush.”

Despite taking a liking to Tom, Anne didn’t let that distract her as she managed to beat the team.

They unfortunately didn’t win the cash prize as The Governess was just too good.

Anne recently revealed the return date for the hugely popular ITV quiz show after filming production was halted due to the coronavirus lockdown.

The programme has been showing repeats since the start of the pandemic, but now Anne has confirmed there will be new episodes very soon.

She responded to a Twitter comment about when the show will return, saying that new episodes are set to air in September this year.

She replied to a fan on Twitter who asked: “@MarkLabbett @anne_hegerty @paulsinha @TheShaunWallace @jenlion Is it a fact new episodes of the chase are returning 7th September?”

Anne said: “Yes, that’s when broadcasts come back off repeats and go to new eps. We do it this way every summer.”

So viewers won’t have to wait too long to enjoy a brand new series of the show hosted by TV presenter Bradley Walsh.

The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV
