Steve Hyde, exactly 18 years after his first appearance, in Series 85.

Steve Hyde was a contestant in Series 51 and an octochamp in Series 85. As of his second series, he is a Credit Card Company Product Manager from Nottingham. He has qualified to return for the finals in June 2022.

Hyde debuted in March 2004 where, despite a run of three scores in the 90s, he was unseated in his third game by the then-reigning Mastermind champion Andy Page by a single point. Hyde returned to the show exactly 18 years after his first appearance, kicking off his second stint with a century over Alan Breckenridge. This time, Hyde’s octochamp pursuit was not disrupted as he added a further seven wins to his tally, including four more centuries. He won his eighth heat of his second series in style with a personal best of 121, scoring points in all 15 rounds, which was enough to make him the 100th member of the 800 club with a total of 806 points.

Hyde returned to the show in June 2022 for the series finals, beginning his finals run on 13 June 2022 against number six seed Ronan Mackrory. Hyde held his lead throughout most of the game and finished with 106 point to qualify for the semi finals, where he will take on Matt O'Connor.
