Countdown fans admit they are ‘missing’ Nick Hewer already as Anne Robinson makes her debut
ANNE Robinson made her Countdown debut on Monday - but fans are already missing previous host Nick Hewer.
Anne, 76, took over from Nick, 77, as host of the Channel 4 show today.
A third agreed, writing: " congratulations Anne on a successful first show."
The show opened with a throwback clip to when Anne appeared as a guest alongside original host Richard Whiteley in the 1980s.
Anne sported a classic 80s hairdo, which she immediately jokes about when the camera turns to her in the studio in the presenters chair.
She said: "Yeah, not my first appearance. If you're trying to work it out, that was 1987 and the clue was my hair do.
"Bay City Rollers, very Bay City Rollers."
Anne then turned her attention to co-star Rachel Riley and said: "I reckon you were one year old when that was on?"
Rachel Riley joked back: "You have been practicing your maths haven't you?"
It comes after Anne boasted she is the "the oldest women on telly not judging cakes".
Countdown airs daily at 2.10pm on Channel 4.
