The Chase “Governess” Anne Hegerty has become one of the breakout stars of ITV’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here 2018 for her honesty about her Asperger’s and brave effort in last night’s Bushtucker Trial. This has left many I’m A Celebrity fans to wonder about Anne Hegerty’s private life, whether she’s married and whether she has a son. Here’s what we know about whether Anne Hegerty has a son or not.
Does Anne Hegerty have a son?
Anne Hegerty does not have any children.
The Chase star has been understandably quiet about her private life.
In the past, her Wikipedia page said Hegerty was married to a man named Jake Hester.
However, when a fan asked whether her Wikipedia page was correct, she replied: “Not particularly.
WHAT IS ANNE HEGERTY’S IQ?
“Is it still claiming I’m married to someone called Jake Hester? I’ve given up trying to correct it.”
She told another fan on Twitter she once “did use to have a Californian boyfriend whose mother was a Daughters of the American Revolution.”
Although Anne Hegerty does not have any children of her own, her stint on I’m A Celeb has been inspiring the children of others.
After Anne discussed her autism on the ITV show, a letter from a young fan went viral thanking her for talking about it.
WHY WAS ANNE HEGERTY RULED OUT OF THE FIRST BUSHTUCKER TRIAL?
The letter from 11-year-old Joseph Hughes said: “I was diagnosed with autism when I was five.
“I like to watch you on The Chase and now I have been watching you in the jungle.
“I couldn’t go there because there are too many bugs.
“Some people are mean to me because I am autistic but watching you makes me see that other people can have autism too and maybe I can have a cool job like you when I am older.”
HOW OLD IS ANNE HEGERTY?
Joseph’s mum Kate Jarvis said: “He sees his autism quite negatively sometimes, so was pleased to see someone with autism doing something like that for a job.”
Jarvis then posted a video showing her telling her son about the response to his letter.
Joseph was not the only person inspired by Anne Hegerty on I’m A Celeb.
For example, one Twitter user wrote: “My 4yr old son has just been diagnosed with Autism. Watching @anne_hegerty makes me so happy inside! she’s doing amazing!”
