Anne Hegery breaks I’m A Celeb record

Anne Hegerty broke an ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ record for downing a glass of fish eyes.
The TV star – best known for her appearance as a quiz master on ‘The Chase’ – impressed viewers as she chugged the disgusting concoction in 12 seconds during a Bushtucker Trial drinking challenge on Sunday night’s show (25.11.18).
The programme’s official Twitter account confirmed her time was a new record and laid down a challenge for anyone feeling brave enough.
It tweeted: "The governess has only gone and added ‘record breaker’ to her list of accolades!
"A glass of fish eyes in 12 seconds… anyone fancy challenging her? #ImACeleb"
Anne has been praised by viewers for her appearance in the jungle so far, which has seen her being open about her battle with Asperger’s Syndrome.
Her ‘Chase’ co-star Shaun Wallace has also complimented Anne for battling her biggest fears and backed her to win the show.
He previously said: "The campmates like her because you’re seeing the more human side to Anne which is really fantastic.
"And the fact that she’s announced to the world that she suffers from autism; it must be very difficult to cope with that condition in an environment totally outside of her comfort zone.
"But she’s trying her very, very best and I hope her efforts will take her all the way. The more she survives in the jungle the greater her chances of winning. And I think she can go all the way."
