  • On famed quiz show The Chase, Anne Hegerty is all the things you’d expect from her English Governess alter-ego. Formidable, stern and for the wannabe quizzers who come up against her, perhaps a tad scary. But little about the real Anne Hegerty is quite as conventional. Watch the full interview with Anne and 7NEWS Spotlight reporter Sarah Greenhalgh.

    What a genuine, beautifully humble woman. I actually cried when she was telling the story of how her aunt Jill treated her without dignity when her mother was dying. Poor Anne. I can relate to how she was treated, for sure. Well done to her for the big FU to those that mistreated her!!!

    This story was very interesting. I have seen Anne on the Chase and love her character. You never know what a person has been through. My son is 34, and from he was little it was obvious he was different. He was bullied at school for being quiet and not joining in very much. It was only later that it was realised that he was on the Autism spectrum. He is very good with figures and he has an amazing ability for memorizing things. He doesnt always see things the way others do. Well done Anne for all you have achieved.

    What a great short documentary, Anne has been one of my favourites on the Chase since it started and she still is. I have grandkids with Autism and it was difficult to understand at first, but our desire to understand it, and them, together with our unconditional love and support, we've got there and so have they thankfully. Love and understanding is really all anyone needs in life and I sincerely hope Anne finds it.

I am happy to say that nowadays early diagnosis leads to an understanding of the way they move though this world. I have the UTMOST respect for this wonderful woman.

    But you are so strong. You have a place in thus world now, and it seems you are enjoying it and doing a great job.
    Your persona, "The Hoverness" really made me freeze when I first saw you. This is mainly because you reminded me so much of my High School Head Teacher.

    Anne, my childhood was a bit up and down, but as an adult you can look back on how things were in the old abacus days. Mothers were never given support for mental illnesses, they just had to struggle on. Love your quip about writing to the elderly. I'm 4 years older than you, so do I go on the list of better not write back to her?😂😂
