Richard: I was cashPointless

RICHARD Osman has revealed he wasn't paid a penny for the first four series of the hit show Pointless.

The TV presenter and author, 51, co-hosted the BBC quiz series alongside his friend Alexander Armstrong from episode one in 2009 until this summer.

But when the show first started, he decided against taking a pay cheque until it became a success because he was one of the bosses of Endemol UK who produced the series.
