Jenny joined The Chase in 2015 and it was host Bradley Walsh who came up with her nickname, The Vixen, after seeing her red hair during a screen test at the studio.

Jenny told how she loved the moniker because: ‘It [her red locks] looks like a fox’s tail and foxes are really intelligent animals, are really cunning and can be quite fast.’

Also while speaking on Lorraine earlier this year, Jenny revealed she hated the first name that was tried out explaining that producers had tried to run with The Cougar.

She told the TV host: ‘The producers had been trying to work out what my nickname should be, and they wanted something animal-y because I like a lot of animal print.

‘They suggested The Cougar and I said no, because I’m too young to be a Cougar.’

Jenny’s sizzling snap comes after her co-star Darragh Ennis revealed he’s been bombarded with more than 40 proposals since joining the popular ITV quiz show.

The Irish quizzer, 40, who is happily married and has politely declined all offers to win him over, has told how he’s been inundated with marriage proposals since becoming the first new Chaser since Jenny joined the show in 2015.

Darragh ‘The Menace’ Ennis joined the five well-known formidable quizzing pros after competing on the show as a contestant in 2017, facing Paul ‘The Sinnerman’ Sinha – and is already making quite the impression.    

‘Since I started on The Chase I’ve had many marriage proposals,’ he said, speaking to The Daily Star. ‘I must have had about 40 people asking if I’m married or would I marry them and would I meet up with them.’

He added: ‘I find it funny rather than flattering.’
