Anne was keeping her face shielded as she headed to work with a red Ralph Lauren cap pulled low over her face with sunglasses also on.
She paired the look with a white ensemble with white and leopard print trainers alongside a long navy coat to keep out the November chill.
It comes amid the latest claims about fractious backstage relations.
According to reports, maths whizz Riley has hinted she plans to breastfeed her second child on the show's set, despite Robinson having previously muted her microphone because she was 'tired of hearing her talking to contestants'.

The Sun reports that Riley - who shares 18-month-old Maven with Kovalev - said: 'When you have a newborn, and especially when you have a toddler as well, you don't have time for a shower.'
She added of her January return to Countdown: 'So when I get back to work someone will be paid to do my hair and make-up.
'You don't recognise yourself the first time you go back because you've just been in mum mode and haven't washed your hair for a while.'
Rachel's comments suggest her newborn will be accompanying her to the studio, with The Sun noting she will likely 'feed the baby on filming breaks'.
MailOnline has reached out to representatives for Riley, Robinson and Channel 4 for comment.

It was reported on Thursday that Riley has threatened to quit Countdown unless Robinson is disciplined for muting her microphone amid secret backstage tensions.
The Weakest Link host allegedly turned off her co-star's mic after becoming irritated by the host's small talk.
An insider told The Sun: 'Rachel and Anne had clashed for some time and for Rachel, enough is enough. She has moaned about Anne a number of times and even said she would consider walking away from Countdown if the issues weren't sorted.'
The source said that Rachel's maternity leave couldn't have come at a better time as tensions continued to rise on the show.
