Countdown Presenter Richard Whiteley Dies

Monday 27th June 2005 12:15:00 PM

Oh my Gowd! Was reading TeleText and just found out that Countdown presenter Richard Whiteley has died yesterday/today from an emergency heart operation. This is so sad and I can't believe it has happened. He died at Leeds General Infirmary.

He had recently signed a contract to present the show for a furhter 5 years along side Carol Vorderman. The show is currenly shown on Channel 4 as it is pre-recorded.

RIP Richard Whiteley 2005-1944. You shall be missed.

farewell Richard Whiteley
