No, he never seemed comfortable there anyway and the format never worked with him in it. Richard was a very hard act to follow as he defined the show rather than just presenting it, and I think they're going to have to go through a couple of presenters before the programme settles into its new era.

I think after Richard Whitely it was just too much of a hard act to follow, hes never looked comfortable doing Countdown since he took over after Richard Whitely died, maybe he is just getting out now while he can.

Does he have any fans? Letting down the show, however, Richard was a hard act to follow

It is a bit of a boring programme, so no wonder he is leaving.
