The Chase

[grumpy01]

Is it me or does anyone else think Jenny Ryan “The Vixen” has a bit of an I’m better than you attitude.

[Ken4155]

I've actually met her, grumpy, and she has no airs and graces, imho. I think it's a part she plays. Bit like the Governess. I've heard she's also a very pleasant person away from the tv.

I have spoken a couple of times to the Beast when he shopped in our supermarket a few years ago when he lived in the area a few years ago.Have to say he was fine and had his picture with a couple of the girls.I think the governess seems Ok but I don’t get that impression with Jenny Ryan. Although Ken you have more direct knowledge than me.

[MallyJ]

I don't think she has but, lets be fair here, she is better than many of the contestants.......!

I am sure it is a persona developed for the cameras.

After all, if you are one of the finest quiz brains in the country, a little superiority adds to your reputation.

[jim360]

Definitely a persona.

[douglas9401]

Word is that she got her title after being caught eating from the bins round the back of the studio.

[emmie]

she seems quite a big girl, or is that the cameras...

[Gromit]

Vixen is her character name. Probably based on her red hair rather than temperament.
Like ‘The Beast’ is named after his size rather than his beastliness.
Once she is named ‘Vixen’ then she has to play to character: // an ill-tempered or quarrelsome woman //.

When she was on Celebrity Masterchef last year, she seemed completely lovely, so i assume it's a persona.

[Georgiesmum]

It ids a well known fact that all of the chasers put on this front . Its all part of the characters they play.They are completely different in real life.

[postman44]

Prefer Shaun Wallace out of all the chasers. Seen him interviewed on tv comes across as a nice person.

[Tilly2]

I like it when Shaun Wallace tries to be really mean. He's a terrible actor! :-)

[Mamyalynne]

Also being a Bolton lass like Jenny I do know a few folk who have met her and reportedly she is a very nice person, a good singer too.

She is purely in character on the quiz.

"Like ‘The Beast’ is named after his size rather than his beastliness."

Really? I always assumed it was because his surname means "the beast" in Old French.
