Robinson hits back at fashion roasting

TV gameshow queen Anne Robinson has described the US fashion pundit who named her as 2001’s worst dressed woman as ‘‘the weakest link’’.

Ms Robinson - famous for her acid-tongued put-downs as host on the BBC’s The Weakest Link - was likened by Mr Blackwell to ‘‘Harry Potter in drag’’.

But she said: ‘‘I have not heard of Mr Blackwell but I have heard of Jasper Conran, Giorgio Armani, Issey Miyake and Ralph Lauren ... and those are the houses who dress me.’’
