Les Dennis Is To Replace Anne Robinson On Countdown. After a year, previous “Weakest Link” actress Anne stated that she would be leaving the post. Since her departure in July, Colin Murray has been serving as the show’s guest presenter, with Rachel Riley continuing to serve as an assistant.
Anne said at the time:
“It’s been a blast for me to host this fantastic show. Additionally, I stayed past the time I had planned. It is now time for an older woman to assume control. I also hope I’ve persuaded TV executives to see that not all ladies in their late 70s are playing bingo and watching magic shows in nursing homes. The magic of “Countdown” actually lies in the ingenious method in which it keeps the mind active. Most days of the week, I run 5 km. I’ve loved being the host of this fantastic show.
