THE CHASE star Jenny Ryan was left grimacing after one of the show’s celebrity contestants walked on to set and had a very rude reaction to ‘The Vixen’.
Impressionist Ronni Ancona couldn’t contain her excitement at seeing the Chaser up close and promptly told host Bradley Walsh that she “wanted to pee” at the sight of her.

Ronni, 56, made the comment just 10 minutes into the show, making Jenny grimace at the awkward confession.
The much-loved quiz show appeared on Sunday night and welcomed Adam Gemili, Dave Johns, Joel Dommett in addition to Ronni to take on Jenny ‘The Vixen’ Ryan,
The episode, which was originally aired in 2020 and again last April (2022).
Funny Ronni had Bradley in stitches after asking if there were any of the Chasers that she would like to go up against.
She asked the 62-year-old: “None of them are particularly thick are they? No, No.”
To which he replied: “I don’t think we’d have them on the show if they were ‘particularly thick’.”
As Jenny walked onto the set Ronni looked completely star struck.
When the Chaser said hello to the comedian, she replied with: “Hello. I think I want to pee,” before she and the studio audience went into hysterics.
Unfortunately, Scottish Ronni didn’t do that well, getting a question about Robert Burns wrong and confusing Russian monk Rasputin with Chinese philosopher Confucius .
She ended up being the first celebrity to get booted off the show.
Born Veronica Jane Ancona on July 4, 1966, Ronni is an actress, comedian and author who got her big break after featuring in Alistair McGowan’s Big Impression comedy TV show.
Brought up in Troon, Scotland, Ronni’s father was a commander in the Royal Navy and her mother was an artist who painted the sets at the Gaiety Theatre in Ayr.
