Best Countdown bloopers
Childish, yes. But there’s just something funny about seeing a rude word on Countdown, isn’t there?
Musician and radio DJ Myleene Klass brought the word 'gobsh***' to Countdown today, the latest in a line of rude words to pop up on the show.

It's good timing, a new series of the post-watershed version – 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown – kicks off this Sunday threatening a few swear words of its own. As such here’s our pick of the top Countdown daytime bloopers…
