'''Celebrity Countdown''' was a short-lived series in 1998 that, as the title suggests, pitted celebrities against each other in a game of Countdown. The format used was a shortened version of then then-standard [[9 round format]]: dropping a letters game from each half to reduce the total number of rounds to 7.  Thus the format was half of the [[14-round format]] used for grand finals in the 9-round era.  This format had also been used in the [[special game]] played on Christmas Day 1997 between [[Richard Whiteley]] and [[Carol Vorderman]]; that show is often credited as part of the celebrity series. The show was broadcast on Thursday evenings, but only lasted for eight episodes.

Celebrity Countdown is a spin-off from Countdown. The concept was first used in 1998, and in 2012, Channel 4 launched 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, which appeared to be Celebrity Countdown with a twist. However, as well as Catsdown, the celebrity version was revived in 2019, with six episodes being filmed on 20/21 October 2019, premiering on More4 on 12 November 2019.
