Richard Osman has revealed he has filmed his last ever episode of Pointless, keeping his exit a secret from everyone apart from co-star and close friend Alexander Armstrong.
It was earlier this year, that much loved BBC personality took to Twitter to reveal he was quitting the job which has seen him be a constant presence on TV for well over a decade, as Pointless airs in the teatime slot on BBC1, up against popular ITV show The Chase.
Breaking the news, Richard, who assured viewers he'd still be on screen in House of Games, wrote: ""After 12 wonderful years I'm leaving daytime Pointless, to concentrate on writing. Will still be doing the celebrity shows and 'House Of Games'. It has been the GREATEST pleasure and I can't wait to start watching as a viewer. Thank you to everyone!"
