Although Susie’s co-stars have come and gone over the years, she describes them all as “Countdown family”.
The presenter previously told MailOnline that the crew are vital to the show’s success, saying: “The camera crew, production team, directors and researchers — it is they who have made the show the juggernaut it has become.
“Our series producer, Damian Eadie, is even a former contestant, first appearing in 1994.
“And he is with us still — the least likely Countdown leader you could ever imagine: a potty-mouthed lover of heavy metal with a brain that can produce an outrageous joke or an anagram at will.”
