Verity Joubert.

Verity Joubert first appeared on Countdown on 26 July 1995, beating Andrew Bull 50-46 in the 18th heat game of series 30. Verity won 3 more games before losing to Chris Williams 69-33. Her four wins were enough to see her into the final rounds as #7 seed, where she beat Andrew Bull a second time in the quarter-final before beating Sue Renwick in the semi-final. In the final against Chris Colsmann, Verity entered a consistently good performance whilst Chris had multiple words disallowed. In the end, Verity ran out the 86-65 winner, and became the thirtieth champion of Countdown in the process. For an unknown reason, verity did not participate in Championship of Champions VIII, but was instead entered into the supreme championship a few weeks later, where she lost to Kevin Nelson in the first round. verity's Countdown adventure was not over, however, as she would return to the studios in 2003 to record a special 3-day 'Ladies' championship' against other female series champions. However, she lost to Kate Ogilvie 47-39 in the first round.
