'Countdown' chiefs 'plan reality show'

Vorderman quit as the show's co-host last month after producers told her to take a 90% pay cut or stand down.
Myleene Klass, Anthea Turner and Ulrika Jonsson have all been tipped to take over from Carol. However, there are now claims that executives are searching for a fresh face.
An insider told the Daily Star Sunday: "The big idea being bandied around at the moment is the reality TV show. It would be based on TV talent show searches like the BBC did to find an actress to play Maria in The Sound Of Music.
"There are a number of Channel 4 executives who are keen on the idea. But there is a fear that some stuffy viewers may not like it."
