The picture, which was shared to The Chase's official Facebook page was captioned: "Looks like someone is having fun recording #BeatTheChasers." But Anne 'The Governess' was nowhere to be seen.

It comes after she announced earlier this week that she is set to miss out on the next season of Beat The Chasers. The Governess usually appears alongside Mark Labbett, Jenny Ryan, Paul Sinha, Darragh Ennis and Shaun Wallace on the popular ITV game show.

Host Bradley Walsh welcomes four quizzers onto each edition of the popular spin-off, which gives players the option to take on between two to five of the quiz genius'. Those who select the higher number of Chasers play for a larger cash prize.

However, Anne has revealed she will not be appearing on the next season after she tested positive for coronavirus. The Governess issued the health update on Twitter and said she will be replaced on the upcoming series by The Chase Australia's, Issa Schultz.

Fans on Facebook were disappointed that Anne was absent as they commented on Shaun's picture. Ursula said: "Love this photo of the Chasers. Love Shaun. It's a shame Anne will not be there. Love Beat the Chasers. Xxx"

Other fans posted well wishes for Anne. Rhiannon said: "Looove Beat the Chasers!! Hope Anne is feeling better soon" as Chris added: "All the best for a speedy recovery Anne."

Jenny 'The Vixen' Ryan also surprised viewers with a behind the scenes look. She posted a before and after series of pictures showing her ready for make up and later all done up. The post was captioned: "We love a before and after! Whether the contestants of #BeatTheChasers love the after as much is another thing."

The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV and ITV Hub
