Game show icon Richard Osman has given Channel 4 producers a big hint as to who he thinks should replace Anne Robinson on Countdown while also killing off rumours he will be the new host.
On Monday (May 2), it was confirmed that Anne, who is from Crosby, would be stepping down as the famous show's host after just over a year in the hot seat. She said the reasoning for her departure was due to wanting to spend more time with her family and doing other activities.
Following the news that she is quitting the game show, a flurry of names have been suggested as to who will replace Anne. Among the favourites is another Merseysider in the form of Paul O'Grady.
