He said: ‘I didn’t get paid for the first four series or so of Pointless because I was the creative director of the company and I did feel like it wasn’t appropriate.’
‘Until series four we didn’t have a hit and I was still doing my job. To me [hosting the show] was a fun hobby.’: ‘But from the second series, me and Xander [Armstrong] were able to talk a bit more and the ratings started picking up. There was something about that relationship, the casualness and gentleness of it, that I think people liked.’
