Whiteley set to miss Countdown
Countdown host Richard Whiteley is to
miss his first show in 23 years as he
continues to recover from pneumonia.
Whiteley, 61 and from Ilkley, was
admitted to intensive care at Bradford
Royal Infirmary on 6 May.
Producers of the Channel 4 teatime show
have said a series of guests will
present the programme until Whiteley is
well enough to return.
The presenter, who has hosted the show
since 1982, is said to be "recovering
slowly" from his illness.
