After just a year in the 'hot seat' Anne Robinson is stepping down as the host of Countdown host. Fans of the show quickly took to Twitter after the news broke with mix feelings about the move.
Famed for her acerbic quips on the Weakest Link, the 77-year old star said: “I’ve had a blast hosting this wonderful show. And I stayed longer than I signed up for. Now it is time for an older woman to take the reins.”
Anne joined the Channel 4 quiz show last year, becoming its sixth presenter and the first female to take the role. She recorded a total of 265 episodes of the show.
