Aussie Chase expert Issa “The Supernerd” Schultz is headed to the UK to appear in Beat the Chasers to replace Anne Hegerty, aka The Governess.

Hegerty told her Twitter followers, “Unfortunately I’ve contracted Covid-19 so won’t be filming this series of #BeatTheChasers. The fantastic @Issa25 (Issa Schultz) will be stepping in for me and I’m looking forward to watching the series when it’s on air later this year. I feel fine, but I’m still positive! (in all respects).”

Beat the Chasers screened in Australia in 2020 but is yet to be renewed by Seven.
