Those goggles are your weakest link, Anne - give them the boot

On The Weakest Link, she regularly ridicules contestants for their fashion sense and flaws.

So let's hope that Anne Robinson can also take a joke against herself.

For as the 64-year-old walked her dog near her Gloucestershire home onlookers were left blinking in amazement at the goggle-like sunglasses she was wearing.

Miss Robinson is said to have fallen in love with the style during a recent shopping trip to New York.

And a friend said: 'She will be very surprised that anyone has dared to ridicule them. She thinks they suit her very well and are very fashionable indeed.'

Robinson has been candid about her concerns about her appearance in the past.

The presenter of BBC2's The Weakest Link quiz show had a £9,000 facelift in 2004.

At the time, she declared: 'I think anything that allows women to feel better about themselves is worth the money.

'I did look like a car crash for a couple of weeks. But it was soon over and I feel much better for it.

'It wasn't a fortune - it cost me the price of one and a half Hermes handbags.'

Robinson presented BBC's Points of View programme from 1988 and also fronted the consumer affairs programme Watchdog in the 1990s.

But it was as the host of The Weakest Link that she gained notoriety.

Last year she made a £20million divorce payout to her husband of 27 years, John Penrose.

Her knowing wink has become a trademark of her the hit quiz show.
