Anne Robinson has announced her departure from Countdown after just one year.
The 77-year-old had taken over from The Apprentice star Nick Hewer as host of the Channel 4 quiz show in 2021, recording 265 episodes of the show over the past 12 months.
Also following in the footsteps of Richard Whiteley, Des Lynam, Des O’Connor and Jeff Stelling, Anne was the first woman to host Countdown since its launch in 1982.
