Clarke Carlisle was a contestant in Series 62.
He attracted media attention by being the first Premier League footballer and the third professional footballer to appear as a contestant on Countdown, after Series 59 finalist Neil MacKenzie and Series 61 contestant Adrian Coote.
Two years after appearing as a contestant, Carlisle returned to be Sean Lock's teammate in the special episode, 8 Out of 10 Cats Mashup: The Rematch.
