ITV The Chase's Bradley Walsh baffled as Anne Hegerty 'never heard' of LFC legend

Bradley Walsh was baffled as Anne Hegerty admitted she had never heard of a Liverpool FC star on The Chase.

The Governess was taking on a team of four new quizzers on Tuesday's edition of the ITV game show. Pete, Amy, Tom and Jayne were testing their wits against one of Britain's finest quizzers to win a cash prize.

Pete started in superb form as he booked his place in the Final Chase with £10,000. Amy was next up and was aiming to add a further £4,000 to the cash haul.

However, the occupational therapist was sadly eliminated after she incorrectly answered a questioned on Liverpool FC. Bradley asked: "Who captained Liverpool when they won the 2019-20 Premier League season?"

Amy opted for Mo Salah when Jordan Henderson lifted the trophy for Jurgen Klopp's side that season. Anne answered the question correctly but revealed she got lucky as she added: "I'm sorry that was a bit of a guess. I've never even heard of the first guy."

Virgil van Dijk was the first option and Bradley was baffled to discover Anne did not know the Dutch defender.

The host shot back: "Are you kidding?"

Anne insisted she didn't know the 31-year-old, which prompted Bradley to jokingly reference film star, Dick Van Dyke, as he added: "Mary Poppins. Unbelievable."

Anne eliminated Tom and Jayne accepted the minus £2,000 offer before proceeding to the final Chase. They built up 15 steps in their bid to take home a cash haul of £8,000.

However, the team left empty handed as the Governess caught the team with 16 seconds remaining.
