Anne has Asperger's Syndrome which has a positive benefit on her quizzing ability but also means that a lot of things that us Neurotypicals don't think twice about are incredibly difficult and stressful for her. It's so much more of a challenge for the Governess than you presume.
Oh come on Jenny she is getting well paid and it's hardly Bear Grylls survival.

The people of this country are forming a protective ring around Rylan - and rightly so. An actual Treasure.

I hope everybody watching at home appreciates just how far @anne_hegerty is going outside of her comfort zone. I'm proud of her for being so incredibly brave and challenging herself. #ImACeleb.

I was DEVASTATED that the judges didn't put me through, but the tidal wave of love & support I got from you all was incredibly uplifting, I am SO grateful. I'm thrilled to have been thrown this lifeline, I won't let you down. See you at the Lives on Saturday! #XFactorCelebrity

I'll hopefully get to read everyone's Tweets soon but a) my phone has melted due to notification overload and b) I'm a bit emo at the moment! Thanks for watching #XFactorCelebrity everyone xxx.

Devastated to hear of the death Dave Rainford. You may know him from Eggheads, but I know him from being one of the most genuine, supportive and kind people in the quiz world. Dave always went out of his way to tell me how proud he was of me. Rest in Peace, mate x

Once again - if you are enjoying #BeatTheChasers and would like to see another series in future, let the bosses @ITV know with a Tweet, letter, carrier pigeon etc. If you didn't like it, feel free to tell them so too. I have a feeling that more viewers loved it than hated it!.

Y'all are entitled to an opinion (even if it's not entirely correct π) but tagging the subject is just deliberately trying to be cruel. And anyway, if the worst you can say is that I'm in the top 6 UK Chasers, that's still a pretty amazing achievement. Go me!

Sad about this. I'm self-funding my #Fringe run, no promoter. Due to the cost I only bought a handful of poster boards, incl. one big one, wide enough to really show off the beautiful poster design. Anyway, some other act has glued their poster over part of it. They didn't ask.

Today is a very special day, as it marks five years since Jennyβs first episode of the chase was aired. She really is brilliant at what she does, and the chase really wouldnβt be the same without her. happy 5 years! π¦β€οΈ

I've stayed away from social media deliberately for most of the last few months. A lot of the time I've not been up to it. I've come back now I'm feeling stronger. to quickly be reminded there are some folk who see SM not as a community but as an outlet for their unhappiness.

I can't quite describe how this makes me feel. It's been quite a year for Paul, and what he's achieved is incredible. He's a wonderful colleague, an amazing Chaser, and I couldn't be more proud to call him my friend.

Never mind the last retweet. It's a new account from someone who has a bizarre fixation with me. I could get a clean sweep and they'd claim I'm not a real quizzer and I don't deserve to be a Chaser. I wonder why they are so bitter?.

Huge love for @Schofe and his family today. This can't have been an easy statement to write, but it will be a huge weight off their shoulders - and it will open up dialogue all over the country. Maybe one day it won't be so hard or painful for *anyone* to come out. π³οΈβπ β€οΈπ³οΈβπ.

Your periodic reminder to #BeKind. Bots aside, we're all human beings behind the keyboard/touchscreen. This person even doubles down on the abuse, even after my long-suffering admin points out how rude he is! (She protects me from the worst of it, that's her job!)
