The Chase star Jenny Ryan now looks considerably different to how she did when she first joined the hit ITV quiz show. Back in 2023, Jenny was inundated with compliments as she unveiled a glam new look.

In October of that year, the quizzing genius posted a picture of herself on social media showing off her incredible weight loss, as reported by the Mirror. The TV personality was at the press night performance of hit West End show Sunset Boulevard at The Savoy Theatre and showed off a more slender frame in a satin green wrap dress.

Many of her Instagram followers were quick to compliment her, as one wrote: "Looking gorge in that dress." Another added: "Aww beautiful photo of you both Jenny awww you look gorgeous xxxx." [sic]

Jenny, known for her signature beehive hairdo on The Chase, also previously opened up about being "fat shamed" by a doctor. Back in November 2021 she took to X, then Twitter, to share what had happened, as reported by Chronicle Live.

At the time she wrote: "Isn't modern life great? Your GP can now fat-shame you over the phone, so you don't have to waste time travelling and sitting in a waiting room before being made to feel awful about your own existence!" She added that her GP said: " 'Do you know your current weight?... Oh... That's significantly lower than last time, well done.

"Not good enough though, is it?'"
