7News Spotlight presents an exclusive interview with Anne Hegerty, best known as The Governess from the popular quiz show The Chase Australia. Airing on Sunday, 21 April 2024, at 8:40 pm on Channel 7 and 7plus, the program offers a revealing glimpse into Hegerty’s personal life, including her experiences as one of the 75 million people worldwide living with autism. Beyond her assertive and competitive persona on The Chase, Hegerty opens up about the challenges she faces in everyday life and her traumatic childhood marked by emotional abuse and unconventional parenting.
In the interview, Hegerty shares her struggles with feeling invisible and disliked, offering a candid account of her experiences growing up with a “deadbeat” father and a caring yet unusual mother. Through her story, viewers will gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by those on the autism spectrum and the impact of early life experiences on personal development.
In addition to Hegerty’s interview, the program also features an epic journey along the mighty Murray River with legendary investigative journalist Charles Wooley. With recent rainfall bringing the river to its fullest in over half a century, Wooley explores the diverse ecosystems and stunning landscapes that shape the heart of Australia. Over a 2,500-kilometer stretch, Wooley uncovers the vibrant heritage and diverse environments that make the Murray River so remarkable.
Through these two compelling stories, 7News Spotlight promises an insightful and engaging viewing experience. By tuning in, audiences will not only gain a deeper understanding of autism through Hegerty’s personal journey but also appreciate the beauty and significance of the Murray River through Wooley’s exploration.
