Bradley Cates
Bradley Cates was a contestant in Series 56 and an octochamp in Series 69. He was an 11-year-old schoolboy from Southport, Merseyside, before returning as an 18-year-old in 2013. He also appeared at the unofficial Countdown tournament CoBris 2007.
In his original run he won three games before losing to serial quiz show contestant Ian Volante on a crucial conundrum. He returned seven years later, starting off with a victory in a double century game against apterite Mark Hartnett. He achieved five more centuries during his run to become number 4 seed to set up a quarter final with Alex Fish. Cates defeated Fish and returned the next day to face off against number 1 seed Dylan Taylor. In a game noticeable for a controversial conundrum scramble, Cates was defeated but ended his run with another century.
Since his appearances on Countdown, he has graduated in Accounting and Finance and appeared as a contestant on Fifteen to One as a 21-year-old, making the final three on 9th of May 2017.
