Anne Robinson desperate to avoid snappers

Weakest Link host Anne Robinson went to extreme measures to avoid being snapped by a photographer this week.

The TV presenter was so unhappy to see a snapper as she left her local newsagent's that she rushed back inside and telephoned an aide, who promptly arrived with a long coat, large sunglasses and a baseball cap to help her to disguise herself.

Robinson had popped out sporting a grey tracksuit and was wearing no make-up. Her reluctance to be pictured follows recent snaps which appeared to show that she had resorted to further cosmetic surgery.

Anne recently revealed that she is "desperate" to find a new man after splitting from her husband John Penrose in 2007.
