Footballer Clarke Carlisle has won his second Countdown show in a row.

The Burnley FC defender became the first Premier League footballer to appear on the long-running Channel 4 quiz earlier this week.

Following on from his victory on Wednesday's show, Carlisle triumphed again on yesterday afternoon's quiz. During his first appearance, the sports star revealed that his team mates had been teasing him by singing the programme's theme tune at him during training.

Host Jeff Stelling joked afterwards: "That's two wins in a row Clarke, and, as someone backstage cruelly remarked, 'that's rather more than Burnley this season!'"

Carlisle could potentially be on the show eight times if he continues his winning streak.
