Discussing her absence on the show, Anne exclusively told OK! at the Pride of Manchester Awards: "Beat The Chasers is on, 9pm every night and that's the series I wasn't on because I got Covid.
So that's the series that's got one of our Australian Chasers on it." Talking about her replacement, Issa, 38, Anne added: "I think he's going to be brilliant, I think you are all going to love him.
He's a smashing bloke!" Get exclusive celebrity stories and fabulous photoshoots straight to your inbox with OK!'s daily newsletter .
