I heard he died from o.d'ing on numerous drugs whilst getting bummed by Barrymore in a children's paddling pool
The badly dressed cunt will be sadly missed

I bloody well hope countdown has finished.
You just imagin anyone but the great whiteley hosting it!
It would be shit!
Whiteley was keeping that 'quiz' show from becoming like every other one. They all try and build so much fucking pointless tension, when there is actually very little content. Countdown never gave in!
R.I.P
