A recent incident at a Countdown event in Blackpool has left the community in shock. The prestigious tournament, which brings together former winners of the popular Channel 4 gameshow, turned violent when contestant John Cowen allegedly stabbed a fellow player. The incident took place on September 14 at the Wainwright Club in Hornby Road, and Cowen, 30, was immediately arrested and charged with section 18 wounding with intent and possession of a bladed article.
The victim, a man in his twenties, was quickly taken to the hospital for treatment. Cowen, a former champion of the show hailing from Morecambe, Lancashire, was placed in custody and is scheduled to appear at Preston Crown Court on Monday. This shocking turn of events has left many wondering what could have led to such violence at the usually friendly and competitive event.
Cowen first appeared on Countdown in 2017 and quickly made a name for himself as a math whiz. He impressed both the audience and the judges with his impressive score, earning the third-highest total of the entire series. But it was his spotting of the nine-letter word 'spreading' that truly made headlines in the Countdown community. This feat is a rare accomplishment for any contestant, and it solidified Cowen's place as a formidable player.
After his initial appearance, Cowen went on to compete in 11 more episodes, winning an impressive eight times in a row. However, his winning streak was eventually broken, and he was bested by another contestant. Despite this, Cowen's legacy on the show was secure, and he remained a beloved champion among fans.
