Elliott Mellor
Elliott Mellor was a contestant in Series 80. He is a Maths Student at Manchester Met University from Oldham. He is also an Apterite who peaked at No.1 in the Pro Ranks on Apterous, less than 12 months after joining the site.
Arguably one of the most talented and dominant Apterites ever, he made his TV debut on 9 November 2018 as the audience member who solved the conundrum after a failed attempt from both contestants.
Mellor first appeared as a contestant in Series 80 on Thursday 16 May 2019 against 2 game winner Arran Cleminson, maxing 13 rounds and setting the highest-ever debut score in history: 131. He spotted impressive word findings such as TAIAPURE and NEOTERISM, while his adversary scored only in the four numbers rounds. The following day, three 9-letter words helped him card the highest-ever score of 152, toppling Zarte Siempre's four-month old record of 150.
Away from Countdown, Mellor enjoys tennis.
