The Chase star Anne Hegerty to feature in new horror film
The 67-year-old has been part of the popular ITV series hosted by Bradley Walsh for 15 years, but has announced she has now landed a 'fun' cameo in Deadcast. 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.'

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.'

When And Just Like That was first announced, Kim publicly shared her reasons for not returning, having played Samantha in the original series from 1998 to 2004, and two movies.

Show writer Michael Patrick King confirmed And Just Like That's ending in a statement on Friday. He said: "And just like that… the ongoing storytelling of the Sex and the City universe is coming to an end. "While I was writing the last episode of And Just Like That… season three, it became clear to me that this might be a wonderful place to stop.

He added: "SJP and I held off announcing the news until now because we didn't want the word 'final' to overshadow the fun of watching the season. "It's with great gratitude we thank all the viewers who have let these characters into their homes and their hearts over these many years." Sarah Jessica Parker, 60, subsequently shared her own lengthy tribute to the show and her character, Carrie Bradshaw. It will be forever before I forget. The whole thing. Thank you all, I love you so.' Sarah Jessica Parker After saying she had loved Carrie "most of all" out of any of her other roles, she concluded her post - which included a montage of moments from the original and reboot - saying: "And Just Like That…was all joy, adventure, the greatest kind of hard work alongside the most extraordinary talent of 380 that includes all the brilliant actors who joined us. "I am better for every single day I spent with you. It will be forever before I forget. The whole thing. Thank you all, I love you so.' 6 She made a brief cameo in series two, which didn't require her to film with any of the other cast members Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk
