The grannies’ favourite show is set for big changes…
In what might well be the final straw for the long-running Channel 4 programme, Carol Vorderman has sensationally announced today that she is quitting Countdown.
The letters and numbers quiz show, which has been on Channel 4 since its launch day in 1982, was already reeling from the news this week that host Des O’Connor is to quit in November.
Since the untimely death of Richard Whitely in 2005, the show had already seen another old timers’ favourite Des Lynam come and go as host, claiming the pressures of commuting to the show’s studios in Leeds as his reasons for leaving.
Now with Countdown facing both its current stars leaving, it leaves Channel 4 with its own conundrum on whether to pull the plug on the wordplay forever.
