ITV The Chase's Anne Hegerty names Chaser who is 'best in the world'
Anne Hegerty has revealed the one star of The Chase who is "the best in the world" as she made a candid confession about her quizzing abilities. The 66-year-old, better known as the The Governess on the hit ITV show rose to fame back in 2010 when she joined the series. Anne has since went on to appear on various spin-offs, including international versions of the quiz programme. While many viewers and players are regularly left in awe by the general knowledge guru, the star has admitted there are other quizzers who are "so much better" than her. Anne named one Chaser in particular, who she believes she is "nowhere near" as good as. When asked who her biggest quiz rival is, she told Best Magazine: "You have no idea how many people there are who are much better than me. It's the first time ever that the current world champion is a woman. "Her name is Victoria Groce and she is a Chaser on the American version of The Chase. I'm nowhere near as good as her. She's the best in the world." Anne worked as a journalist and ghost writer before she became a household name on the ITV soap. She first debuted on television during Mastermind in 1987 where she selected 'The Life and Works of Lorenz Hart' as her specialist subject, Edinburgh Live reports. She also previously served as a "phone a friend" lifeline on Who Wants to be A Millionaire? Since then Anne has appeared on numerous popular TV shows including Today's the Day, Fifteen to One, Brain of Britain and Are You an Egghead? Anne started out on The Chase in 2010 and has successfully beat the players on a 79.9 per cent on episodes, making her the most successful Chaser on the ITV show. Other chasers on the UK show include Mark Labbett, Shaun Wallace, Paul Sinha, Jenny Ryan, and Darragh Ennis. Meanwhile, Anne's quiz idol Victoria first gained recognition in the US when she broke David Madden's 19-day winning streak on the show Jeopardy! back in 2005, marking the eighth-longest winning streak in the programme's history. Groce, 44, joined the Chase US in 2022, which also features UK Chaser Mark Labbett, better known as 'The Beast'. That same year, she was victorious in the pairs competition at the International Quizzing Championships with Eggheads star Kevin Ashman, and also won the team contest. Born in Georgia, Victoria made history in 2024 when she became the first woman and the first American to take home the trophy in the World Quizzing Championships, having previously secured silver and bronze medals in the competition. It's well known that Kevin is the most successful competitor in the contest, having won the title six times. His fellow Egghead and former Who Wants to be a Millionaire? winner Patrick Gibson follows closely behind with four championships under his belt.
