Tan Robinson

She beamed a sunny smile to complement her new tan. But if Anne Robinson had glanced down, she may have felt more than a little browned off.

For in her quest for that summery allover bronzed look, her feet proved the weakest link ... being a whiter shade of pale. There was speculation that the 60-year-old BBC quiz show hostess had misapplied a spray-on tan. However, she seemed blissfully unaware of the glaring omission as she enjoyed an evening out at The Ivy restaurant in Covent Garden.

'It was really funny,' said one onlooker. 'Anne was wearing a lime green dress that set off her golden tan. But when she entered the restaurant, which is very dimly lit, her little white feet and ankles seemed to be glowing in comparison.

'Perhaps she applied a spray-on tan when she was wearing socks, or just found it awkward to reach down so low. Either way, her snow-white feet slightly spoiled an otherwise fantastic look.'
