Anna famously dated former Great British Bake Off star Sue Perkins after the breakdown of her previous relationship with television director Charles Martin, whom she dated for 18 years before she met Sue.
Anna and Sue were at a Halloween party in 2013 when they quickly hit it off and soon became a couple.
The Channel 4 host spoke to The Telegraph about their relationship and opened up about her sexuality back in 2015.
She said: “For me, it’s just a case of ‘I am who I am’. I’m not interested in being labelled gay or straight, my sexuality is fluid. I’m just me. I just happen to have fallen in love with a woman, simple as that.”
The duo sadly broke up in June 2021 and it is believed that Anna is still single.

Straight talking Anna Richardson often talks openly and candidly about her own life and during her career, she’s definitely seen a lot of things.
Anna has hosted Naked Attraction since 2016 and previously presented Channel 4’s Sex Education and Sex in Lockdown.
She is an advocate for openly talking about sex and back in 2008 she admitted that when she first met her ex-boyfriend Charles, they were “s***ging all the time”.
When she was dating Bake Off’s Sue, Anna told Diva magazine that the “sexual adjustment was easy”, but the “emotional adjustment” was “something else” as a “relationship with a woman is far more intense”.
She branded the experience “an emotional tsunami” and admitted that it “takes a certain type of person to give it a go, regardless of what people think”.
After her seven-year relationship with Perkins ended, she hinted at a crush on Strictly star Gorka Marquez.
Anna set her eyes on Strictly Come Dancing back in 2021 after having previously turned down I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! and Dancing On Ice.
Richardson told The Sun that she thinks Strictly is “a whole different ball game” because contestants are “learning a skill” which is an “incredible opportunity”.
She then gushed over the Strictly professional: “Being paired with somebody like Gorka would be amazing. You want someone you can have a really good laugh with and who is handsome.”
Family plans
Richardson doesn’t have any children and is currently believed to be single, but the happy-go-lucky presenter has previously expressed her desire to start a family.
Back in August 2021, Anna spoke to Daily Mail’s Weekend Magazine about her thoughts on children.
She said: “I’m very conscious of the fact I sort of forgot to have kids. Suddenly, you wake up, you have the menopause and it really is too late, and that’s quite freaky.
“You think you have all the time in the world, then life goes past and you realise it’s no longer possible. Where does that leave me and where should I put my love?”
