Susie Dent: Rachel Riley's co-star talks her future on Countdown ‘The clock was replaced’

Susie, who is part of Guide Dogs’ Power of Description campaign, admitted she was “nervous” about the comedy panel show to begin with, but soon settled into her role.

“I was nervous,” she divulged. “I’m not a comedian, when I’m funny it’s by mistake.”

She explained: “At the beginning, I tried too hard to be funny but no one expects me to be funny so it was never going to work.

“But Jimmy was quite respectful to me and Rachel at the beginning and as everyone now knows, he’s as rude to me as everyone else.”
