"Absolutely phenomenal" university student breaks two records on 'Countdown'

Duh-duh duh-duh duh-duh-duh-duh, BONG

This week a university student broke not one, but two records on the long-running Channel 4 quiz show 'Countdown'.

Tom Stevenson, 21, set an incredible record score of 154 points on the show last week. He then followed that record up this week by being the first person to progress without losing a round.

The University of Worcester student, of Burford, Shropshire, said he wanted to "prove something" after getting three Ds in his A-levels.

Stevenson broke the record with the final Countdown Conundrum, despite being told by Murray the significance of the moment. The student cracked the final anagram in just three seconds. It was UNLETOVER (Scroll down to see if you could get it).

Colin Murray, who hosts the show said it was an "absolutely phenomenal" performance from "the coolest customer."

Mr Stevenson, from Burford, Shropshire, told MailOnline: "I'm elated to have done so well. It wasn't something that I set out to do, I mainly set out just to have a fun time and just win one game."

He added, "The rest has been a bonus really. It's been quite surreal to be honest."

Stevenson said on his personal Twitter that he hopes to appear on 'Pointless' next. From his 'Countdown' performance, we're sure we haven't seen the last of him on our screens.

And the conundrum was 'VOLUNTEER'. Did you get it?
