Anne Robinson Quits Countdown After Only One Year In Job

Anne was the former host of BBC's The Weakest Link.

Anne Robinson is quitting as the host of Countdown after just one year.

The 77-year-old - who was the first woman to present the show - says she's "had a blast" but that she has "grandchildren, a large garden and a home in New York, all deserving more of my attention".

Channel 4 says her replacement will be announced in due course.
