Richard Osman has revealed that he wasn't paid a single penny for the first four series of Pointless he filmed with the BBC.
The 51-year-old TV presenter and author, co -hosted the quiz show alongside good friend Alexander Armstrong - from episode one in 2009 until this summer.
However, when the show initially began, he decided against taking a pay cheque until it became highly-successful - as one of the bosses of Endemol UK, who produced the series.
