THE Chase fans were left open-mouthed after Anne Hegarty wowed with her glamorous Christmas look on the show.

The 63-year-old Chaser usually appears on the show with her trademark severe suited look, however, she looked completely different during the festive special.

Anne took to her seat wearing a glamorous dress and looked a world away from her traditional fashion statement - ditching her normally bland wardrobe staples.

She matched her festive frock with a full glam make-up look, complete with red lipstick and had her cropped hair coiffed into soft curls.

And fans of the show couldn’t believe their eyes, with many taking to Twitter to sing her praises for her stunning new look. 

Alongside a heart emoji, one viewer said:  "It's nice to see Anne out of that dreadful outfit she wears daily on the Chase. Anne, you look amazing."

Echoing their comments, another simply added: "Anne looks rather snazzy tonight."

Someone else penned: "Anne looks absolutely stunning - she should dress like that more often.”

Anne was joined by almost all of her fellow Chasers on the special show including Mark Labbett, Shaun Wallace, Paul Sinha and Jenny Ryan.

The gang went up against celebrity contestants Nicky Campbell, Anne Diamond, Colin Jackson and Josie Long for the episode.

The celebrity contestants proved to be a force to be reckoned with as they powered their way through to a four-person final with an impressive £140,000 under their belts as Shaun battled to catch them.

However, they certainly had the last laugh as comedienne Josie and athlete Colin put on an impressive display and gave them a strong lead of 20.

Despite his best efforts, Shaun couldn't catch up and the celebrities bagged the jackpot.

The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV.
