Carol Vorderman: I won't host 'Countdown'

According to Digital Spy, Carol Vorderman has refused to be drawn into the Countdown presenter debate.

She insists she would rather continue in her current role, administering the letters and numbers, and solving the maths problems.

Vorderman was recently announced as the favourite to take the lead presenting role, after current incumbent Des Lynam announced he was leaving.

However, she has laughed off the rumours, and advised people to save their time and money: "Please don't put a bet on me as I'm really not going to be the new host of Countdown," she said.
