Countdown host Anne Robinson has become famous for her frosty manner and cutting jibes over the years.
But after hitting the headlines over her reported feud with co-star Rachel Riley, the 77-year-old has also come under fire for her past remarks about Clare Balding.
Here we take a look at how Anne “fat-shamed” the sports presenter, and what’s allegedly happening backstage at Countdown.
Countdown: Anne Robinson vs Clare Balding
During her time as host of the Weakest Link, Anne poked fun at Clare’s weight and referred to her as “chunky”.
Clare has since spoken out about the incident on the podcast, The Mid.Point, with Gabby Logan.
She said: “Through the course of it, Anne had been very cutting and had talked a bit about when I was an amateur jockey, and why did I give up? I said, ‘Look at me, I got too heavy, right.’
