Countdown 'largebaps' gaffe leaves Channel 4 blushing
Channel 4 bosses were left red-faced after making a real boob of a Countdown Conundrum.
Jeff Stelling and Rachel Riley laughed off the boob conundrumContestants on the afternoon quiz show fought back the giggles yesterday as host Jeff Stelling revealed the clue to the shows final word game was ‘largebaps.’
But the blushes didn't end there as one contestant buzzed in to solve the jumbled up word, which was actually ‘graspable.’
Stelling, who also presents Sky Sports Soccer Saturday show, acknowledged the tense finale saying: ‘Thats quite brilliant, I thought that was an impossible conundrum.’
A spokesman for Channel 4 said: ‘I think viewers of the show will be aware of the tongue in cheek nature of the show.’
‘It's really up to the viewer to construe whether they think the combination of clue and answer was inappropriate.’
‘All of the show’s content is carefully considered to make sure it is suitable for broadcast at that time of day.’
‘If those two words were put together intentionally, they certainly were not meant to cause offence.’
