Well, she's done every other show, why not a stint replacing Vorderman?
Terry Wogan to replace Des O'Connor?
Mind you, Sir T has a poor record on daytime TV, the Terry and Gaby thing flopped, as did his 'phone-in' show on BBC1 years ago.
Or Sir Trevor McDonald as new host?

Tbh tho I don't think she would, I mean she quit The One Show after she had Ava, I can't see her wanting to comute to Yorkshire for Countdown.
who cares?
*drool*
I doubt they've got a replacement already - especially one whose diary is as full as Myleene's.
this is the death of countdown as we know it
It should have been cancelled as a mark of respect.
She'd have a hot-line to an expert at the producer's desk, relaying arithmetic information through the earpiece.
How doyou think these things are done in ALL the quiz shows?
:D
Anyhow, according to a poster in another thread, anyone could do the maths, so what's the problem?
All this is certainly true about her classical career (as told in classicfm information), but I wonder if she fronts the classical albums with others performing most of the pieces. Things are not always what they seem with Myleene.
It would have been good to have heard of her playing a recital or a concerto with orchestra, but I can't find anything like this.
So, "failed classical artist" may be not far off the mark.
i have to agree there:)
Rent-a-celeb Klass would be a total disaster.
Time to stop.
It started in November 1982 so is almost 26
Why does it need someone of stature to do it? I'm fed up of "celebs" in every programme these days. Carol Vorderman was unknown when she was picked. I would quite like another unknown to be picked to do the sums. I might have to stop watching it though if they pick Myleene Klass.
Who gives a toss about anyone "of any stature"? I for one am sick of the whole celebrity culture. Countdown does not appeal to the celebrity worshippers and so does not need a "famous" host.
What makes Countdown very unusual is that it lets you play along with the game pitching your wits against the contestants and numbers person/dictionary corner. All the other game shows I can think of are either fodder for the stupid/lazy (Deal or no deal) or memory tests such as Mastermind or Weakest Link.
There will always be a place for Countdown as long as there are enough people around who aren't content to just let their brains ooze away through passive viewing, even it it ends up on a minority channel.
Couldn't agree more with the comment re: Myleenie. I'm sick of her turning up left, right and centre on everything from music to politics.
If Countdown is to continue, they should start with a clean slate and stop trying to aim for so-called 'big' names.
It;s not Myleene's fault she is offered presenting roles.
She is just working hard.
That wouldn't be a bad idea - he can't read his autocue to save his life - rather he did the numbers and Julie presented - she is so much at ease in front of the camera and handling technical stuff
Carol's abrupt 'ultimatum' after 26 years of service could be considered quite 'nasty' as well.
I've no doubt Myleene works hard, but she seems to be a classic case of 'Jack of all trades, Master of none'.
Naturally, Carol Vorderman's off to 'Picuture' herself Cashing in on the Attic, to join Rippon, Hunniford and all the others on this haven for has-beens.
