The Chase’s Jenny Ryan shocks fans with dramatic transformation as she ditches The Vixen’s look

JENNY Ryan has shocked fans with a dramatic hair transformation when she attended the Sister Act press night.

The Chase quizzer looked worlds away from her alter-ego 'The Vixen' as she rocked blonde locks instead of her signature dark tresses.

The ITV favourite sported her stylish glasses which she teamed with a long black dress and open-toe sandals.

The stylish ensemble was accessorised with a statement necklace as she carried a burgundy bag.

The quizzer was all smiles as she headed to the press night for Sister Act musical press night held on Wednesday evening.

Jenny is best known for outsmarting contestants with her quick wit and extensive knowledge.

But before shooting to fame, the 40-year-old had a crucial test on the popular game show before becoming a Chaser.

When I first started I had a test run, a bit of a screen test in the studio with Brad hosting," she told Lorraine Kelly.

"Just as a chemistry kind of test really. And I had my hair in this big ponytail.

"The producers had been trying to work out what my nickname should be, and they wanted something animal-y because I like a lot of animal print.

Jenny revealed that Bradley Walsh gave her the nickname The Vixen, who said: "Vixens are notoriously clever and cunning."

Jenny is no stranger when it comes to making appearances on quiz shows, having also worked on The Weakest Link and Fifteen to One.

The redhead from Bolton also starred in University Challenge in a bid to help the University of Leeds reach the semi-finals in 2003.

Her big break, however, came in 2009, after being approached to write questions for the pilot episode of The Chase.
