Anne 'The Governess' Hegerty on The Chase. (ITV)

The Chase star Anne Hegerty has revealed that being autistic has had a negative impact on her love life. The game show quizzer, 62 – who was diagnosed with autism in her mid-40s – said being on the spectrum has made it hard for her to “hold down relationships”. The Daily Mail reported that Hegerty opens up in a teaser clip from spin-off show The Chasers Road Trip, which sees Hegerty and fellow Chasers Mark Labbett and Shaun Wallace travelling around the world. Watch: Anne Hegerty says she'd be on benefits if she wasn't on The Chase She says: “One of the things that goes along with autism is that I really can't hold down relationships. I've tried.” Hegerty shares that her longest relationship was just four months and that the romance only lasted that long because the man lived in Brighton, while she was in Manchester. “He was a lovely bloke but I am just not good with the sort of amount of attention that people need,” she added.

She has opened up about her dating life before, revealing last year that although she does fall in love it “tends to not be with people I meet in real life”. “I fall in love with historical or fictional characters. People I can put a bit of distance between,” she told OK! magazine. “I get overwhelmed in the presence of actual people and everything shuts down.

“That much intimacy, I almost zone out.”

Are twin flames meant to be together forever?

Twin flame relationships are thought to be the most intense relationships we can have in our lives—but they're not always meant to last. Sometimes, twin flames go through a separation period, and whether the separation ends up being permanent depends on that particular pair.

While the separation may not be permanent, it is virtually always a time to focus on and prioritize your own growth and self-love. Nuñez says it's important for each person to focus on finding themselves and their own happiness—"because oftentimes our happiness is contingent upon being in a relationship or somebody else," she notes, when it shouldn't be. When that work is done, she adds, that's when twin flames can often rekindle because they're ready to approach the relationship in a new and stronger way. But this growth can't be fast-tracked, she adds, and that's when you really have to trust what's meant for you will be. "Know the universe isn't going to steer you wrong, and if you're truly meant to be, you'll go off and find your way back together again," she says. Focus on learning to be OK being by yourself, she suggests. Take yourself out on dates, learn to sit with your emotions, practice shadow work, and don't try to replace what you've lost by rushing into another relationship. Nuñez says this time is about finding your happiness. And remember, we can have platonic soul mates and other important relationships in our lives that also teach us important lessons and help us grow. The separation period is a good time to nourish those relationships, too.
