Her many social media followers appreciated the glimpse into her life as a youngster.

One commented: “What a wonderful photo and tribute to your amazing mum! As the fellow daughter of a nurse all I can say is hear hear

A third wrote: “Aww such a cutie pie Jenny . I agree Nurses do not get enough acknowledgment for all their hard work and behind every successful Dr/ surgeon there are a great team of nurses
❤
.”



It is of course Jenny Ryan from The Chase

The little girl in the picture might not have gone on to be a nurse, but she boosts people’s spirits in other ways.

Jenny ‘The Vixen’ Ryan keeps viewers entertained on The Chase and Beat The Chasers, and wowed with her vocal ability on Celebrity X Factor.

The 39-year-old has a strong track record of flexing her intellectual might.

She starred for Leeds University on University Challenge in 2003 and made it to the semi-finals.

She has also featured on Only Connect, The Weakest Link and Fifteen to One.



Jenny also has an impressive singing voice and starred on Celebrity X Factor

Her subject of choice on Mastermind in 2006 was Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

The Chase host Bradley Walsh gave Jenny her well-known nickname.

She told Lorraine earlier this year: “I had my hair in a big ponytail and the producers were trying to work out what my nickname should be. They wanted something animal-related because I like animal print.

“They suggested The Cougar and I said no, because I’m too young to be a Cougar.

“Bradley came up with The Vixen because of the red hair.”

She added: “It looks like a fox’s tail and foxes are really intelligent animals, are really cunning and can be quite fast.”
