Anne Robinson has said she is “beyond thrilled” to become the new host of Countdown, the long-running Channel 4 daytime show. Robinson, best known for stints presenting Watchdog and The Weakest Link on the BBC, will become the show’s sixth host in its 39-year-history.
Robinson will be the programme’s first female host since it began in 1982 at the launch of the channel. She follows in the footsteps of the original presenter, Richard Whiteley, who hosted the show until his death in 2005, Des Lynam, Des O’Connor, Jeff Stelling and Nick Hewer. Robinson will join Susie Dent, in dictionary corner, and Rachel Riley on numbers.
