Lauren Laverne has revealed an unfortunate coincidence during her first stint as Pointless co-host. The radio DJ and TV presenter made her debut on the popular daytime game show on Thursday (October 20) alongside host Alexander Armstrong.
Viewers of the BBC One show have seen various famous faces step up to the role left vacant by Richard Osmon. Back in April, the TV presenter, producer and novelist announced that he was leaving his co-presenter role on Pointless to focus on his Thursday Murder Club book series and other projects.
Coronation Street star Sally Lindsay was the first to step in to to the role, held by Richard since it made its debut in 2009, as part of an all-star line-up of guest presenters which has since included Stephen Mangan and now Lauren.
