Helen Wrigglesworth
From Countdown
Helen Wrigglesworth in her second appearance.
Helen Wrigglesworth was a contestant in Series 41 and a quarter-finalist in Series 42. She was an IT Project Analyst from York.
She was ruled to have suffered a bad call when her offering of ROADSIDE was disallowed by Mark Nyman in her fifth game, on account of the fact that it wasn't in the Concise Oxford Dictionary that caused her to lose by two points. The production team felt that she'd been unfairly treated as a result and with the previous edition of the dictionary being restored, she was invited to return to continue her run during the next filming block. She was credited with the extra win and points that allowed her to qualify for the quarter-finals, wherein she lost to eventual series winner Michael Calder.
