COUNTDOWN WILL ALWAYS be close to the hearts of afternoon telly watchers, as there’s pretty much nothing else on at that time.

But dictionary corner had spotted an eight

“We apologise in advance for this one, it’s in the dictionary – we’re only saying it because it gets you one letter further… but sh*thead”
