EXCLUSIVE: The former tennis champion hosted the show for 24 years, but she had previously said she was 'devastated' when she was fired. The broadcaster credited inflation and dwindling ratings as the long-running sports quiz show that lasted more than 1,300 episodes was cancelled, despite the shocking news. The show premiered in 1970 and was first fronted by veteran Match of the Day reporter David Vine, but Ms Barker, who hosted the show for nearly a quarter of a century, is most well-known for being the show's host. The Wimbledon semi-finalists were first admitted to the programme in 1997 and are quickly evolving to become the show's face.
