Britain's Anne Robinson, the acid-tongued hostess of the "Weakest Link" TV show, will present a topical comedy for the BBC, the Mirror said Friday.

Robinson, accompanied by comic Marcus Brigstock, will invite celebrities to discuss issues of the week on the Hat Trick Productions' "What's the Problem?" show.

"Anne will be perfect at putting down whoever has been shameless in the news that week," said a source at the BBC. "It will be a bit like what Angus Deayton did on 'Have I Got News For You,' but Anne will make her own mark."
