‘Frosty Knickers’ Anne Hegerty has ‘a masculine approach’ to relationships says The Chase’s Mark Labbett
ANNE Hegerty has a "masculine approach" to relationships and can't commit according to her The Chase co-star Mark Labbett.
The 60-year-old has never married and has opened up about her romance woes while in the I'm a Celebrity jungle.
Mark - who is known as The Beast on the ITV quiz show - has been friends with Anne for ten years and affectionately calls her 'Frosty Knickers'.
Explaining why her autism diagnosis is a factor in why she's single, he said: "Because of her Asperger’s, Anne has quite a masculine approach to relationships which has led people to think she bats for the other side.
“She says, ‘No it’s the C word, commitment is the problem’.
"Boyfriends would mention commitment and she would look at them and go, ‘Why?’.
“She’s not looking for love in the jungle. She will have a huge crush on John Barrowman but will realise that won’t happen on so many levels.”
It was John, 51, who Anne opened up to on last night's show.
The Doctor Who and Torchwood star asked Anne - who is a huge fan of the shows - if she had a partner, she replied: "No I don't.
"When I was working out that I was autistic it clarified a lot of things for me and one of those things was, 'That's why I never seem to be able to make it work, that's why I always feel claustrophobic in a relationship.'
