The Chase star Shaun Wallace couldnt have been prouder of Anne Hegerty on Im A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! because, like the rest of us, he got to see a different side to The Governess.

Anne, 60, was everything in the jungle – she was vulnerable, she was comical and she was every inch a Queen of the Jungle, even if she left without the crown.

Shaun – aka The Dark Destroyer – was one of Annes loudest supporters, but actually he was all of us as Anne opened up about her autism, faced trials far beyond anything she thought she was capable of and, yet, still thought she came out of the camp a wimp when actually she couldnt have been braver.

Her fellow Chaser was just as blown away by Anne as we were.

I didnt really know until a week or so before and I wished her the best luck and I was very, very proud of her, Shaun exclusively told Metro.co.uk. Especially because she took herself out of her comfort zone.

He added: Me and Anne are friends but we dont socialise out of the show. I knew about her condition as far as Aspergers was concerned but like everybody else I saw a different side to her which made me warm even more to her.

While Im A Celebrity fans got to know Anne beyond this stern quiz master who haunts weekday afternoon television from 5pm, Shaun is letting us in thought his new autobiography, Chasing The Dream.

I decided to write it because I think people, rather than just learning about my quiz exploits, they wanted to learn about my life so I started from the beginning, said Shaun.

Its important because the public perception of us is were these cold-hearted quizzing machines, but were human like everyone else. Weve got a story to tell.

Thats one thing that got amplified when Anne was on Im A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!.

But it wasnt an easy journey for Shaun. After three years of putting the book together, the worst happened.

My computer crashed, I lost everything and I had to start again, he sighed. I had to write a book from scratch, its happened in the past, Isaac Newton ended up burning his masterpiece thesis.

More: I'm A Celebrity

At least hes in good company. And like Isaac, Shaun wants to inspire with his story.

With hard work and a bit of talent, you can go wherever you want to go, he stressed. Dont be afraid to dare to dream – you can dream.

Anything can happen in the future and thats why I like to go into schools and tell them you can be the next Chaser, you can be the next quiz master, you could be the person who can stop cancer.

Thats what I hope people will take from it.

It just goes to show dont allow adversity or knock backs to change your life. Youve got to just keep going.

The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV while Shauns book Chasing The Dream is available now.
