Carol Vorderman could be set to return to Countdown following Anne Robinson's departure from the Channel 4 show. Anne, 77, announced earlier this week that she's set to step down as Countdown host after less than a year in the job, and there have been lots of rumours and suggestions as to who might take over as the new presenter on the popular game show. One name that's been mentioned as a possible replacement is someone who's by no means a stranger to the programme is former numbers expert Carol, who is reportedly a top choice for the role among show bosses.But former host Nick Hewer, who presented the show for almost a decade between 2012 and 2021, reckons she might not be the right choice, in part because she's too closely associated with another job on the programme.Asked about the possibility in an interview with RadioTimes.com, he said: "I've been on her show a couple of times, she's got a [BBC] Radio Wales show."I don't know whether there would be a sort of conflict in a way because both she and Rachel [Riley] did the same job.So I don't know."I think she's a very popular woman, but I would have thought that it would slightly confuse the audience, which is a very faithful audience, [with] some people watching it for years and yearsHe added, "I just think that there might be – people might be a bit confused."For her part, Vorderman recently said it would be "an honour" to return to the show and thanked fans for their comments, but appeared to distance herself from the gig by wishing luck to the future host."I want to wish whoever is the lucky human to be the new host all the love and 9 letter words in the world," she wrote on Twitter.For who else might be a good fit for the job, Hewer had a wealth of suggestions,
