Dan Byrom in Series 85.

Dan Byrom was an octochamp in Series 85, the third of the series to be crowned in under 5 weeks. A member of Apterous from Sheffield, he was a gap year student, part-time tutor and Business Development assistant for his father's audiology firm at the time of recording. He will almost certainly return for the finals in June 2022.

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. In 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. Byrom equalled his personal best of 140 in his fifth game, before seeing off stiff competition against fellow Apterite Gabriel Thallon in his sixth. Byrom completed his run of 8 games undefeated, all with centuries, and climbed to the top of the seed table with 967 points – a total shared with Zarte Siempre.

ZoomDown

Prior to his Countdown debut, Byrom participated in Series 1, Series 2 and Series 4 of ZoomDown.
