Bradley Horrocks
Bradley Horrocks was an octochamp in Series 77. He is also an Apterite.
Bra, as he is known on Apterous, amassed 864 points during his run, finishing his unbeaten streak during the penultimate week of preliminaries in Series 77 to qualify as the #2 seed for the finals as well as the eighth and final octochamp of the series. Eleven days later, he returned for the finals stage, where he first prevailed over #7-ranked James Kennedy in a very close quarter-final, sealing victory on a crucial conundrum. Barely a week after that, he returned for the semi-finals where he faced the "strong 6 small" man John Cowen. In spite of this, he managed to defeat him through several letters round by spotting words such as OVERFIT, RETINOID and SIDEWAY.
Prior to his début as a contestant, Horrocks had appeared on Countdown during the previous series as the audience member who unscrambled the conundrum COOLCIDER on 23 February 2017.
