Countdown: Anne Robinson to step down as presenter
Anne Robinson is stepping down as The Host of Channel 4 Quiz Show Countdown after a year.
The former Weakest Link presenter, 77, joined the daytime staple in 2021, becoming its sixth presenter and The First woman to take The Role .
She Said she had a " blast" hosting The Show but it was now time for " an older woman to take the reins".
Robinson, who recorded 265 episodes, will appear in shows until the summer, Channel 4 said.
She Said she had enjoyed hosting the " wonderful show" but had " stayed longer than I signed up for".
Robinson added: " I hope too I've encouraged TV bosses to realise that not all women at the wrong end of their 70s are in care homes playing bingo and watching conjuring tricks.
" In fact the genius of Countdown is that it's a brilliant way to keep The Brain exercised. I run 5km most days of the week.
" And I can now do an anagram at twice the speed I could This Time Last Year .
" But I have grandchildren, a large garden and a home in New York , all deserving more of my attention. "
She joined mathematician Rachel Riley and lexicographer Susie Dent in an all female line-up on the daytime show, with her first instalment broadcast on 28 June.
Robinson followed in the footsteps of Richard Whiteley , Des Lynam , Des O'Connor, Jeff Stelling and Nick Hewer as the presenter of Countdown, which launched in 1982.
A show spokesperson said: " Quick-witted Anne has been a brilliant host on this iconic show. "
A former journalist, Robinson became known for her trademark-style of delivering cutting remarks to contestants when she presented The Weakest Link, which ran from 2000 until 2012.
