Update 2:

Carol Vorderman quits 'Countdown'

Friday, July 25 2008,

Carol Vorderman has quit Countdown after 26 years, her manager has confirmed.

The 47-year-old joined the Channel 4 quiz show alongside Richard Whiteley when it began in 1982.

She has since co-hosted with Des Lynam and current frontman Des O'Connor.

The news follows O'Connor's announcement that he will step down from the programme in November. Comedian Rory Bremner is reported to be the favourite to replace him.

Vorderman is rumoured to have walked out after failing to agree a new contract amid attempts by the show's producers to cut costs.

She is said to be "extremely sad" at the decision.

    No way has Carol Vorderman quit, who's doing it now?

    Edit:

    Oh my god I can't believe it, well they'll have to cancel it.

    Carol Vorderman for sure! She is a thinking fighter with all that mathematics skill and she will take Des apart. I say she wins by TKO in the 3rd due ground and pound!!!
