Anne Robinson has admitted her changing face still continues to attract attention.
The Weakest Link host, 79, who underwent a facelift in 2004, revealed that ‘for ages’ people would come up to her and ask who performed the £9000 procedure.
She debuted her new look while starring on the game show and also admitted to maintaining her wrinkle-free look with regular Botox injections.
In an interview with The Oldie magazine this week, Anne explained: ‘For ages afterwards, men would come up to me and have a serious conversation and then at the end say, “My wife wanted to know if I could ask you where you got your facelift.”
‘Gordon Brown’s female sidekick had a serious conversation with me about inheritance tax at a party and then at the end said, “How much did your face cost?”‘

Anne previously confessed that she regretted not waiting before debuting her facelift on television.
The presenter was mocked after getting the cosmetic surgery when she was appearing on The Weakest Link.
Speaking to Angela Scanlon’s Ask Me Anything on Irish TV, she said she wished she had not gone straight onto TV with the new look.
She explained: ‘When you have cosmetic surgery it is a bit like taking a leg of lamb out of the oven. You have to let it rest for a bit.
‘I went on television quite quickly afterwards and it was a famous headline which said, “This face is the Weakest Link” as it was quite blown up.’
However, the quick-witted gameshow host does not regret being honest about the work she had done in 2004.
She said: ‘I think you are only as sick as your secrets. It is very hard to be pretending you have not had a facelift.
‘When I was first on television there were quite a few presenters who were the same age as me and now they are all younger. It seems easier to just be open about it.’

Anne, who hosted The Weakest Link from 2000 to 2012, became the host of Countdown in 2021, but quit in July 2022.
She said: ‘I tried to be nice on Countdown. I loved it but nothing was ever going to be as wonderful as The Weakest Link or being a newspaper journalist.
‘I probably made a mistake thinking I could replicate it on another game show. [Countdown] is a brilliant show but it does not really require a smart-arse presenter.’
‘If you were quite obese, I would say ‘What do you do when you are not eating?’. But you can’t do that anymore.’
