Dan Byrom
Dan Byrom was a contestant in Series 85. He is from Sheffield. At the time of broadcast, he was on a gap year, focussing mainly on music, but also some part-time work as a Tutor in Business Development for an Audiology business, with an eye on a potential PhD in the future. He is also an Apterite.
Appearances on the programme
Byrom made his TV debut on 6 November 2017 as the audience member who solved the conundrum after a failed attempt from both contestants.
When he himself became a contestant on 27 January 2022, he scored 140 points – the highest ever debut score in Countdown history. On his second game, he maxed the first 14 rounds, but his opponent Dave Root prevented him from achieving only the 12th ever max game by solving the conundrum.
