Anne Robinson Says Farewell To The "Weakest Link"



Anne Robinson, one of the most famous BBC presenters ever has decided to say goodbye to the quiz show after 11 years.

Over the years, she told thousands of contestants that they were the weakest link. She was dubbed as 'the Queen of Mean' for her strict and stern attitude.

However, 66 year old Anne Robinson said it was time to quit because it become more like a military operation. She is the highest paid BBC presenters and earned about a million pounds every year. She clarified, she didn't leave because of any salary cut. She also said that she originally said she would do the show for 10 years but settled to work for 11 years instead, which is more than enough and she should focus on other projects.

BBC will end the show instead of finding a replacement for Anne Robinson since she had created a persona to the identity of Weakest Link. Thus, after 1693 episodes over 12 years, 15,000 contestants, 230,000 questions and countless insults from Anne Robinson, the show will end.
