Thursday, September 17, 2026 - Anne Robinson has spoken candidly about the remorse she still feels after losing custody of her daughter, Emma, during a battle with what she described as an “appalling drink problem.” Robinson said the experience remains the most shameful event of her life.
The broadcaster lost custody when Emma was two years old in 1973, at a time when Robinson was struggling with alcohol misuse.
Her admission offers a deeply personal look at the consequences of addiction and the lasting emotional weight carried by parents who believe their choices harmed their children.
Robinson has since rebuilt her relationship with Emma, who is now a television and radio producer.
Her openness highlights both the damage caused by addiction and the possibility of repairing family bonds through accountability, honesty, and sustained effort.
