Anne Hegerty’s got a ‘secret’ husband and Twitter’s on a mission to find him

Jade Hayden

He’s not a secret though, lads.

He just doesn’t exist. 

If you’re at all familiar with the life and times of Anne Hegerty, you’ll be aware of a few things.

One of those things is that she plays the role of the Governess on ITV’s The Chase. Another one of those things is that she was diagnosed with Asperger’s back in 2005 and that through I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here she’s been inspiring a lot of people. 

And another one of those things is that her Wikipedia page used to say she was married to some bloke called Jake Hester.

Anne dropped the bombshell during last night’s instalment of the show, saying that she doesn’t bother looking at the page anymore because she has no idea who this man is, and why Wikipedia is so adamant that the pair have been together since 2015.

Now, after a quick sconce on Anne’s Wiki, there doesn’t appear to be any mention of a so-called Jake Hester.

However, this does not mean that Anne was lying on national television (she would never), rather it’s likely that Wikipedia simply cleaned up their act since last night and sorted it out.

Good for them.

Still though, that didn’t stop Twitter from launching a full investigation into the whereabouts of Mr Hester.

And they did not disappoint.

Or rather, the Jack Hesters of the world didn’t disappoint.

Yeah, probably fairly likely, tbh.
