Colin Murray Named Permanent Host Of Countdown
Colin Murray has confirmed he is to remain as the permanent host of Countdown, the UK's longest running TV quiz show.
Colin, who has hosted the show since summer 2022, confirmed the news on Channel 4's live daily show Steph's Packed Lunch.
Colin said: "It's a career dream to be named as permanent anchor of one of television's most iconic programmes. I have been a fan since day one, been part of the family for over a decade, appearing on Dictionary Corner, and now I get the honour of guiding it into a fifth decade. However, I just don't want Countdown to survive, I want it to thrive. During my caretaker stint we've seen more people tune back in, with close to a million [0.9m] watching the series final in December, and I want that to just be the beginning.
"Countdown is a special show, and its stars will always be the letters and the numbers, but it's more than that. Great afternoon company for people of all ages from all across the UK. Rachel, Susie and I are very excited for the year ahead. If you haven't watched in a while, drop by and join us. Everyone is welcome."
