The Chase star Anne Hegerty to feature in new horror film
Anne, who is also known as The Governess, revealed: 'I recently filmed a cameo in a very low-budget horror movie. I mean, it's so low budget I've been offered a share in the profits.'
The I'm a Celebrity star also told OK! magazine: 'It's called Deadcast, and it's about a couple of guys who do a podcast about the supernatural. They head off to Lincolnshire to interview people who've had spooky experiences, and end up getting more than they bargained for.'
Sharing details about her character, Anne continued: 'I play a woman who saw a UFO, put it on the internet and got massively trolled and ended up becoming a recluse.
"There's a scene where they interview me in my garden and I'm showing them where I saw the UFO.
'I say, 'they've been with me my whole life. It doesn't matter where I go, they follow me.' And just at that precise moment, an ice cream van passes playing Teddy Bears' Picnic. It was a lot of fun.'

Also in the interview with OK! magazine, Anne admitted she once turned down the chance to appear on Strictly Come Dancing, ahead of the new BBC series beginning in a few weeks.
When discussing if she would ever enter the world of sequins, Anne said: "God no! My agent tried to get me to do it ages ago, but I couldn't even formulate the words to say, 'I think this is a bl**dy terrible idea.'
'I can't dance to save my life. When I'm in panto, you can make me sing a bit but, whatever you do, don't make me dance. Have everyone dance around me, like a maypole.'

Police drama hailed as 'the Scottish Broadchurch' rockets up Netflix charts as fans rave 'it has you second-guessing every clue'
A Scottish police drama is soaring up the Netflix charts after fans and critics alike showered it with praise, drawing comparisons to the British drama series, Broadchurch. The Loch, which originally aired on ITV in 2017, follows DS Annie Redford (Laura Fraser), an officer with the Scottish Highland Police, who investigates the murder of piano teacher Niall Swift after he is found dead at the bottom of a cliff. However, it quickly emerges that a serial killer may be at large after the police discover part of his brain is missing and a human heart belonging to another victim is found close by. With a huge case ahead, Glasgow-based major investigation detective DCI Lauren Quigley (Siobhan Finneran) is then brought in to lead the enquiry. Just last week, the six-part series landed on Netflix and viewers quickly took up the chance to binge-watch it, making it the second most-watched TV show in the UK on the streaming platform. When the series first aired, critics raved about the show, saying it was 'definitely worth a look'. A Scottish police drama is soaring up the Netflix charts after fans and critics alike highly praised the show, drawing comparisons to the British drama series, Broadchurch (Siobhan Finneran and Laura Fraser pictured) The Loch, which originally aired on ITV in 2017, follows DS Annie Redford (Laura Fraser), an officer with the Scottish Highland Police, who investigates the murder of piano teacher Niall Swift after he is found dead at the bottom of a cliff The Express wrote in their review: 'This tartan-clad Broadchurch shows a lot of promise, not least in the way it plays on people's Loch Ness fascinations.' Meanwhile, The New York Times shared: 'The peel-the-onion format here is familiar by now, but Stephen Brady's script and a group of fine performances keep it intriguing, nonetheless. A fine diversion for summer evenings.' The Washington Post added: 'You'll probably figure out the ending to Loch Ness well before the fog lifts, but my hunch is you're here mainly for the luscious scenery.' The Post NZ said: 'It does a good job of slowly building up a portrait of a troubled but brilliant man with little regard for authority but great regard for the law itself. Definitely worth a look.' Meanwhile, one viewer claimed the show 'feels fresh and has you second-guessing at every clue uncovered'. Another wrote on IMDB: 'The desire to uncover the truth is overwhelming. Suspenseful moments intertwined in a mix of both fast- and slow-moving plot points, if you are into British crime dramas, this needs to be added to your must watch list.' While other viewers raved that the police drama is 'compelling', 'gripping', and 'superb'. When asked to describe the series at The Loch's premiere, Scottish actress Laura, 50, said: 'It's all very dark and creepy but also has moments that are quite tongue-in-cheek. However, it quickly emerges that a serial killer may be at large, and Glasgow-based major investigation detective DCI Lauren Quigley (Siobhan Finneran) is then brought in to lead the enquiry (Siobhan and Don Gilet pictured) Just last week, the six-part series landed on Netflix and viewers quickly took up the chance to binge-watch it, making it the second most-watched TV show in the UK on the streaming platform She continued: 'It reminds me a wee bit of the classic movie An American Werewolf In London. It has that vibe and there's a lot of animal symbolism – wolves, crows, mutilated sheep and, of course, plenty of mentions of the Loch Ness monster.' ITV previously teased details of the show, saying: 'What secrets lie beneath the surface? In this stunningly set crime drama, some monsters are no myth. For Detective Annie Redford, the hunt is on to catch a killer. 'A murder in a small Scottish town sends the community into shock, and local detective Annie Redford is thrust into her first murder case.' The police drama also stars Don Gilet, John Sessions, Gray O'Brien, Jim McMeekin, Shona McHugh, Jack Bannon, and William Ash. The Loch is now available to stream on Netflix and ITVX.

A BELOVED sitcom star was left stumped by challenging Celebrity Catchphrase puzzles - but could you work them out? Although contestants must "say what they see" on the ITV game show - this is not always easy. 4 Neil Morrissey struggled with tricky puzzles on Celebrity Catchphrase Credit: ITV 4 The actor was stumped by some of the final round's riddles Credit: ITV 4 Could you work them out? Credit: ITV Stephen Mulhern welcomed Dianne Buswell, Ria Hebden and Neil Morrissey to the studio. Men Behaving Badly star Neil, 63, reached the Super Catchphrase round, with £4,500. The star faced some difficulty as he made his way up the money pyramid. One riddle showed a woman cutting open a pastry, with three fish emerging from it. Neil guessed "fish cake", but later learned the answer was actually "fish pie". Another puzzle featured the show's Mr. Chips character standing on weighing scales. The words "Weight Mate Meeting" were on a blackboard, while he held a fork and a plate with staples on it. Neil tried to suss it out and guessed "staple gun" before deciding to pass. The correct answer was later revealed to be "staple diet". He also reached the prestigious number 11 Catchphrase - but had only three seconds to decipher it. Watch moment Celebrity Catchphrase star Lesley Garrett fails to double her money on tricky riddle The riddle showed a split-screen of two figures of the word HARD. One of them was sat behind a desk in an office and while the other in was in a garden. Neil took a quick guess with "hard copy", which was soon revealed to be incorrect. Afterwards, Stephen informed him that the right answer was "work hard, play hard."

The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000. - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history.

The 1% Club - Viewers of Lee Mack's popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed. The query went as follows: "Edna's birthday is on the 6th of April and Jen's birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir's birthday must be the 'X' of January." It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir's birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence. - Viewers of Lee Mack's popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed.

The options were - sweetcorn, potatoes, carrots - with Steve selecting sweetcorn but the correct answer was potatoes. Neil had answered some of the other puzzles correctly and bagged £5,000 in the final round. The actor said: "Wow, that's amazing" upon learning of his winning amount.
