Susie Dent: Countdown’s words whizz on achieving financial independence

Susie Dent has been Queen of Dictionary Corner on Channel 4’s Countdown since 1992, and is a fan favourite on its comedy spin-off, 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown. But being on TV was never her plan. Susie tells Gabby about her worst investment, why she doesn’t want money to be a taboo subject for her children, and how Rachel Riley helped her get better at maths.
