Popular because of her hard-talking style and witty output to certain issues around her. That's why Weakest Link creators, Finton Doyle and Cathy Dunning chose her for the show.

But Weakest Link before wasn't supposed to be as rude as you might have thought. At first she was very nice to the contestants until one contestant pissed her off because of the disastrous performance, Anne crossed her arms and with a frown on her face she uttered "You are the Weakest Link, Goodbye!" became the winning formula for a killer show.

She was even hired by NBC to host the US version of Weakest Link. She was given a six-year multi-million contract. She appeared in billboards in the US, promoting Weakest Link.
