A brand new Chaser has joined the panel of quiz experts on Beat The Chasers after 'The Governess' Anne Hegerty was forced to quit the series.
The news comes as Anne explained she would sadly be absent from the series, writing on Twitter "Unfortunately I’ve contracted Covid-19 so won’t be filming this series of Beat The Chasers.
Unfortunately I’ve contracted Covid-19 so won’t be filming this series of #BeatTheChasers. The fantastic @Issa25 will be stepping in for me and I’m looking forward to watching the series when it’s on air later this year. I feel fine, but I'm still positive! (in all respects)
