Sandie Simonis was a contestant in Series 8 and the 30th Birthday Championship. She was from Middlesex.

Her son, Daniel, was a finalist in Series 27.

Twenty years later, Simonis returned to the Countdown scene to compete in CoBris 2005 and COLIN 2006.

She returned to Countdown again in 2013, as one of 41 contestants taking part in the 30th Birthday Championship. She received a bye to the first round, but lost her only game to the Series 4 runner-up Christine Hunt by a score of 88 – 78, after her opponent answered 2 conundrums correctly.

Away from Countdown, she has reached Expert status at Scrabble, and is Secretary of the London Scrabble League.
