THE CHASE got nasty last night after one of the contestants on the ITV gameshow was branded a “cold-hearted b****” by Anne Hegarty.
Anne Hegerty calls The Chase contestant a 'b****'
Holby City star Rosie Marcel found herself facing the wrath of the 58-year-old brain box as the two women went head-to-head in a chase.
Quizmaster of The Chase Bradley Walsh was heard asking Rosie, 39, about her role as Jac Naylor on the BBC medical soap, which she described as the person that “people love to hate”.
She also said that the part made her a “nicer person in real life” because of her mean onscreen alter-ego. It was then that Anne said: “So, you pretend to be a cold-hearted b****?”
But Rosie got her revenge a little bit later on after she was given a tempting high offer, leading the actress to tell the Chaser: “Anne, you’re evil!”
Tonight’s celebrity edition of the quiz series saw sports presenter Adrian Chiles, Hollyoaks star Gemma Merna and Channel 4 veteran newscaster Jon Snow all competing for charity.
Sadly, Jon, 69, getting caught out by the chaser after he decided to go for the higher offer and a step closer to Anne.
You’re a cold-hearted b****?
Before leaving though, Jon flirted up a storm with Anne in which he told her: “Beat me, baby!” after she won in the second round.
Anne was also heard telling Jon: “Hello Mr Snow, I’m Miss Frost”, much to the amusement of the audience.
She later told him that she wanted a divorce, leading Jon to exclaim: “I think you were just beginning to love me!” as he added: “You know how to make a man feel small!”
Following Jon’s departure from the game, the remaining team members managed to accumulate £49,000 between them, however despite their valiant 18 steps in the final round they were outrun by Anne.
The chaser praised their efforts but was clearly missing her “husband” as she told the team: “It would have been better with Jon.”
Luckily, the stars did not leave empty-handed and were each given £1,000 for each of their chosen charities.
The episode comes after chaser Paul Sinha was left less than impressed with Bradley, 56, when he joked about breaking the rules of the show.
The Chase airs on ITV weekdays at 5pm.
