 Florence started her ''[[Countdown]]'' journey in the 12th heat of the series on 13 July 2021, emerging victorious with the first [[century]] under Robinson. After a run of two wins with scores in the 90s, Florence wrapped up her unbeaten run with another five more, all with scores above 101. She solved a crucial [[conundrum]] in her sixth match against [[Jonathan Walne]] and concluded with a personal best score of 124 points.
-Florence is the 50th member of the [[800 club]] entirely under the [[15 round format (new)|"new" 15 round format]], having attained 860 points across her run, and is the first woman, as well as the twelfth person ever, to solve all eight conundrums in their preliminary matches on the show. With 22 letters, she has the joint-longest name of any octochamp to date (the other being the late [[Michael Macdonald-Cooper]]).

 In the [[Episode 7934|semi-final]], Florence lost ground on Haughton thanks to spots from him like {{word|OSTALGIA}}, but after he made a mistake in the last numbers, she capitalised by closing the gap enough to force a crucial conundrum. Unfortunately, neither player could crack it, which meant Florence bowed out of the tournament, although, as she did with her husband, she held James to his lowest score on the show to date.
-Across 14 shows, 12 wins, and two losses, Florence racked up 1,458 points. She averages about 104 per game.

 Florence returned to the programme in January 2023 to take part in [[Championship of Champions XVI]], entering as the only female player in the tournament. In the first game of the new year, aided by such spots as {{word|ONSTEEAD}} and {{word|AEOLIAN}}, she defeated [[Leo Smith]], who had also lost to her husband in his [[Episode 7412|semi-final]]. She, therefore, advanced to the Championship's quarter-finals, where she played her husband as he won his heat against [[Matt O'Connor]].
