Countdown host Anne Robinson has addressed speculation of a behind-the-scenes feud with Rachel Riley.
However, Robinson appeared to deny these rumours by sharing kind words about Riley, as well as Dent, when directly asked about them by Rachel Johnson in a recent interview.
When asked if Robinson is “more cuddly” when the cameras stop rolling, Riley said: “I don’t think anyone would describe Anne as cuddly.”
Robinson, 77, replaced Nick Hewer as presenter of the Channel 4 game show earlier this year, joining regulars Riley and Susie Dent.
