James Haughton
James Haughton was a contestant in Series 81. He's a Maths PhD Student at the University of Manchester.
The Apterite began attending Co-events in 2018, and after rapid improvement, he won his first FOCAL event, CoNuT in 2019 — all prior to his run on the show in July of the same year, in which he began his run with a strong début score of 118 and a spot of the nine-letter word ROUTINISE.
Outside of Countdown, Haughton previously appeared on University Challenge where he represented the University of Manchester in 2015. In 2017, he was a semi finalist on Mastermind. He also partook in the 66th series of "Brain of Britain" in 2019.
