Countdown king who stabbed rival given order
November 27, 2025
|Blackpool Gazette
A former Countdown champion who stabbed a rival at a fan convention in a "terrifying incident" will be detained in a hospital for treatment, a judge has ruled.
John Cowen, 31, entered the convention venue with a knife in his hand and walked up to fellow Countdown champion Thomas Carey before stabbing him in the upper arm, a sentence hearing at Preston Crown Court was told.
The incident happened on September 14, 2024, at a gathering of the Focal Countdown Group where former contestants on the Channel 4 TV quiz show and fans meet for unofficial tournaments.
Judge Guy Mathieson said Cowen entered the venue at the Wainwright Social Club, in Blackpool, and "went straight for Mr Carey".
