Anne Robinson has broken her silence on rumours of a rift with Rachel Riley as she announces she's quit Countdown.
The Crosby-born TV presenter has left the show after just one year. Robinson, 77, joined the Channel 4 programme last year, becoming its sixth presenter and the first woman to front the show.
Ms Robinson, who recorded 265 episodes of the much-loved game show, 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."
