Pointless featured an Ann Widdecombe ‘lookalike’ last night, according to viewers.
Monday (November 16) afternoon’s repeat episode of the BBC quiz show, hosted by Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman, featured duo Roz and Dec.
On social media, a number of viewers said they thought Roz looked just like former MP Ann Widdecombe.
Some of those watching at home joked that she could even be Ann’s sister.
What did viewers say about Pointless contestant Roz?
One said on Twitter: “Ann Widdecombe on #pointless.”
A second tweeted: “Did Roz base her hairstyle on Ann Widdecombe?”
