The Chase's Vixen on whether she'll return Matt Frost - ITV

The Chase star Jenny Ryan (aka The Vixen) has revealed whether she'll return to the ITV show after her new career move.

The gameshow expert recently announced her very own UK tour, Out of the Box, which is set to run in venues up and down the country from September to November.

While discussing the upcoming tour during a recent appearance on Good Morning Britain, Jenny was asked by GMB co-host Ranvir Singh if she'll return to quizzing on The Chase after her tour ends.

Thankfully the answer was a resounding yes, though Jenny did add that it's a "big risk" to show her "softer" side on tour after playing a "stern role" on The Chase for so many years.

"We took the show to Edinburgh Fringe last year really on sort of a whim," she explained.

"It's a big risk to take something like this, as presenters know, after a stern role and you try something new. It's a bit of a challenge for people to change their expectations and perceptions of you."

Jenny added: "Putting myself out there to show a softer side of me – putting everything out there, my background, everything... was a bit of a risk. We sold out [at the Fringe] and we got such excellent feedback."

The official synopsis for Out of the Box reads: "Jenny Ryan – better known as the dream-crushing brainbox The Vixen on the hit ITV quiz The Chase – breaks away from teatime telly and invites you to an evening of song, storytelling and even some showbiz secrets.

The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV.
