Channel 4’s Countdown is to continue with a new presenter, according to reports.
The show's future was brought into question last month after long-standing host Richard Whiteley died after heart surgery
"We are going to carry on, probably with one presenter," co-host Carol Vorderman told the PA. "It was originally suggested that the show would be fronted by a variety of guest presenters."
She continued: “The switchboard at Channel 4 has been inundated over the last few weeks we have been off air asking when Countdown is coming back. By and large, 95% of our viewers have said they do want it to come back.
"It is still all quite sensitive and we are not even trying new people until September. It will be very odd for me. Obviously the person I want to do the show with is Richard."
