Richard Osman makes joke as he's replaced by Corrie's Sally Lindsay on Pointless and viewers make complaints just minutes in
BBC quiz show Pointless had a new look as co-host Richard Osman was replaced by actress Sally Lindsay. The former Coronation Street star, from Stockport, said she was 'excited' as she joined regular host Alexander Armstrong on the long-running BBC One show on Tuesday as part of an all-star line-up of guest presenters.
Alexander beamed as he introduced Sally, saying: "My new Pointless friend. My first in 12 years the wonderful Sally Lindsay." And she told him: "This is so exciting and so surreal." But it wasn't long before some viewers took to Twitter to complain about Sally 'reading' from the laptop in front of her. @WHartley10 tweeted: "Will you please stop constantly looking down at your laptop and engage more with contestants? Not liking the new look, sorry." And @JonStone101 said: "Richard Osman always gave the appearance that he knew the information he was giving, Sally Lindsay is clearly just reading from a laptop #pointless.
They added: "Sally has done one episode & was fine. She did what she needed to do & got on well with Xander & the contestants. Pipe down moaners." Richard will continue to host Pointless Celebrities as well as his BBC Two show, Richard Osman’s House of Games. Sharing the news on Twitter he said previously: "SOME NEWS! After 13 wonderful years I'm leaving daytime Pointless, to concentrate on writing. Will still be doing the celebrity shows and 'HouseOfGames'. It has been the GREATEST pleasure and I can't wait to start watching as a viewer.
