Richard Osman makes his feelings clear on latest Pointless guest host after quitting show
RICHARD Osman has made his feelings clear about the latest Pointless guest host after announcing his departure from the show.
The quiz show co-host revealed that he was stepping back earlier this year after 13 years.
Since Richard's exit, Pointless fans have been treated to a selection of co-hosts of late and Lauren Laverne is the latest.
The radio DJ and musician, 44, was in the hot seat alongside Pointless anchor Alexander Armstrong, 52.
Lauren follows on from former Corrie star Sally Lindsay, who had divided fans - with some calling out her supposed lack of chemistry with Alexander. Steven Mangan has also acted as a guest host.
Richard made his feelings clear about Lauren becoming the new guest host, as he took to Twitter to praise the radio DJ and presenter.

He wrote: "Great to see @laurenlaverne doing an absolutely cracking job on Pointless this week. Born to do it."
Lauren replied back to Richard's tweet saying: "It was so much fun, what a lovely team you have there."
Fans were also quick to praise Lauren and some said they wanted her to become a permanent host.
One wrote: "outstanding & natural, what we expect of a professional, much better than an actor just a reading script, pity you can't become permanent, love it."

Another wrote: "Absolutely loving Lauren. She's a natural asking those questions."
A third tweeted: "Lauren Laverne is so good at this, just a natural from the word go. Please make her stay! #pointless."
Meanwhile a fourth shared: "Stephen Mangan was great, but so is Lauren. I’d have either of them being made permanent co-host #pointless."
Popular BBC quiz show Pointless sees contestant try and score as little points as possible.
