Numbers up for Carol

The queen of Countdown Carol Vorderman is leaving.

The maths genius has been on the show for 26 years.

Carol's agent claims she quit because she was told she had to take a 90% pay cut.

Granada, the people that make Countdown say they were going to negotiate with her and their offer was just their first initial one.

But the Vorderman wasn't hanging around to haggle.

One of the favourites to take over on the numbers board is Norfolk girl Myleene Klass.

It's reported the businessman who owns the show's rights has threatened to pull the plug because he's unhappy with the treatment she's got.
