Speculation has been rife amongst Countdown fans about who might replace presenter Anne Robinson, who announced that she was stepping down from the role after one year. In a message to fans, she told them of her intention to spend more time with her grandchildren, in the garden, and at her home in New York.
Some of the names to have been named rumoured as possible replacements include Romesh Ranganathan, Fiona Bruce, Paul O'Grady, Dermot O'Leary and Jon Richardson.
However, one of the names to have been floated as a possible presenter is a particularly familiar face to anyone who watches the show - Carol Vorderman, who co-presented the word-and-number-based game show for twenty-six years.
