Richard Osman Twitter: Pointless presenter says he 'let himself down' after error

The quiz show favourite, 48, was corrected by an eagle-eyed Twitter user after he shared a picture of a deserted studio. “Maybe I’m weird, but I always find an empty TV studio very beautiful,” Richard Osman told his 780,000 followers when he uploaded the shot. “Maybe I’m weird but the word ‘very’ is almost always redundant,” someone pointed out in the comments section. “Agreed, I have let myself down,” the Pointless star replied humbly. “Badly.”

“I feel terrible now,” the Twitter user wrote.

“No! It’s a genuinely good note,” Richard said. “That’s a much better tweet without ‘very’.”

In addition to presenting Pointless alongside co-host Alexander Armstrong, 49, Richard also created the long-running BBC game show.

The programme recently celebrated 10 years on air with a one-off special titled Pointless: The Good, The Bad and The Bloopers.

When the episode aired, Richard joked on Twitter: “I wanted to call it ‘Ten Years Of Pointless – It Seems Longer’, but they wouldn’t let me.

“Either way it’s a lot of fun.”

He went on to assure fans there would be plenty more Pointless to come, revealing he and Alexander were about to record 220 brand new episodes.

The special featured highlights from the past decade, some bizarre answers given and several moments of fluffed lines from the hosts.

Alexander also tweeted his 408,000 followers about the show, quipping: “hope you enjoyed watching #PointlessBloopers as much as Richard and I enjoyed RUINING the show.”

Elsewhere, Alexander Armstrong previously made revelations about Pointless as he answered fans’ questions during a Q&A for The Guardian.

In December 2017, he was asked how long presenters can avoid “burnout” fronting a formulaic show.

“The answer is – for as long as they love doing it. And people don’t mind watching.

“I get tired but never bored doing Pointless and we do four shows a day,” he added.

“That says a lot about the quality of the contestants we put together, the peculiar chemistry of eight random people being brought together, the imaginative questions that our brilliant team comes up with and the depth of my friendship with Richard,” he added.

“Having some you’ve (sic) know and love to work with is brilliant.”

Pointless airs weekdays at 5.15pm on BBC One.
