Hegerty recently revealed she is paid per episode and therefore isn’t keen for another chaser to join the show as it would mean less chance for her to play.
There are currently six chasers - Anne Hegerty, Mark Labbett, Shaun Wallace, Paul Sinha, Jenny Ryan, and the most recent addition, Darragh Ennis - who take turns going up against contestants.
“It’s not as if they’re going to up the budget and add a new salary, a new chaser would just mean the same number of shows shared between more people – so less money for everyone.
The presenter, 44, welcomed four players battling to beat the chaser, Shaun Wallace, known as The Dark Destroyer, on the ITV game show.
“I make elaborate things like little witches' potion cabinets and little Gothic items for vampires and things like that,” she said.
