Anne Hegerty, 60, defended her position on Twitter after she stated on the Channel 5 show that it is not a child’s job to care for an elderly parent if they are not in the child’s life for the majority of the time during a segment regarding children’s inheritance. The Chase favourite took to the micro-blogging site after a person commented on the short clip taken from the show where they suggested Anne's parent deserves some “consideration” for her to care for them.The person in question said under the video: “Parents that've spent the majority of their lives raising you may disagree…” in regards to Anne’s comments. The outspoken star replied: “Twelve years was not a majority of my dad's life, given that he lived to be ninety.”
The pair’s exchange did not stop there as they continued to go back and forth about caring for elderly parents.
The Twitter user continued: “I know your tale opened this issue, but it goes beyond you I'm afraid. Besides, twelve years and a major part in your very genesis surely earns him at least a small part of consideration?”
To which Anne replied: “Why is someone in New Jersey watching British TV anyway?”
