doesn’t equal a leg up for people of colour and this was something echoed by many on social media who rushed to defend Anne-Marie against the naysayers.
MP Dawn Butler tweeted: “Do your research before assuming something negative based on the colour of a person’s skin. @aimafidon is phenomenal! 2 A-Levels at 11, at 20 Master’s degree in mathematics and computer science from University of Oxford. There’s more but I ain’t got time.” Another wrote: “Not all heroes wear capes. It’s so massive to see incredible women like Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon on a main TV channel. Myisn’t great but I’ll be tuning in and brushing up my skills. Keep going! We’re all behind you.”
A third said: “The audacity to call Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon a “diversity appointment” when she is the most qualified person to ever host Countdown.”hire is representative more of the people who think that than of Anne-Marie herself. As the Oxford graduate will be co-host for 60 episodes ahead of Rachel Riley’s return, it will be great to see her bring her brilliance to the show.Sign up for the latest news and must-read features from Stylist, so you don't miss out on the conversation.
