Carol Vorderman Leaves Countdown, Is Sort Of A Twonk About It
A million quid a year. Look at that number again. A million. That's £83,300 a month. £19,230 a week. £3,846 a day. And that what Carol Vorderman earnt on Countdown. That's Countdown, mind you - the mid-afternoon Channel 4 gameshow watched exclusively by ironic students and the infirm. A million quid for sticking bits of card on a wall and pretending to find Des O'Connor amusing. Still, it's a million quid she won't be getting any more. Carol Vorderman has quit Countdown, you see, claiming that her bosses demanded that she took a 90% pay cut. And, insulted, Carol Vorderman has taken to just about every newspaper on the face of the earth to bitch about the injustice. On the plus side, at least now Carol Vorderman will be best known for being greedy and vindictive instead of for thinking she's about 500 times more attractive than she actually is. That's a step up.
