Alex Horne was a finals qualifier in Series 59 and Dictionary Corner guest on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.
Known in comedy for creating and co-hosting Taskmaster and for his band The Horne Section, he first appeared on Countdown as a contestant in 2008, winning three episodes. He qualified for the series finals in December as the number seven seed, but was unable to take part due to comedy commitments. He later returned to the show in 2013, this time as a guest in Dictionary Corner, alongside his band. They even once stood in for Joe Wilkinson who was "away on holiday" in Episode Cats25.
His name coincidentally appeared in a letters selection in Episode 8453, to which Rachel Riley rearranged it as an Easter Egg on-screen.
