Premier League footballer Clarke Carlisle has filmed an episode of Channel 4 quiz show Countdown.

The Burnley defender will appear on the programme, which is hosted by Jeff Stelling and Rachel Riley, later this month.

Speaking about his stint on the show, Carlisle told The Sun: "It was fantastic. It's geeky but it's fulfilled a lifelong ambition. I don't think I disgraced myself - that's all I was concerned about."

The sports star, who got give five A*s and five As at GSCE, previously won ITV show Britain's Braniest Footballer.
