Anne Robinson has been confirmed as the first female presenter of Countdown after being named as the outgoing Nick Hewer’s replacement.
The no-nonsense TV personality, 76, best known for her former role on The Weakest Link, will take over from Hewer later this year.
Confirmation of her appointment on the Channel 4 staple was made on Monday morning’s edition of Steph’s Packed Lunch, where her name formed a Countdown inspired conundrum.
