All discussion relevant to Countdown that is not too spoilerific. New members: come here first to introduce yourself. We don't bite, or at least rarely.
If I suddenly have a squirming baby on my lap it probably means that I should start paying it some attention and stop wasting my time messing around on a Countdown forum

She's the unit manager, so it's her job to make sure that everyone is where they should be when they should be. I guess being awesome is part of the job description, since Jay (her predecessor) is also a legend, even if he's not quite as pretty.

Do the members of the audience get to meet her, or is it just the contestants?

She sometimes gets a bit of chat from Dudley (the warm-up guy), and is generally in the studio during the recording, but (disgracefully!) she doesn't get a big intro like the "artists" (Jeff, Rachel, Susie and the guest.)

It would be ncie to go down to the studio (if welcome ), to see if I can meet Danielle and even meet Rachel and Susie too.
I've been trying to think which prime time light entertainment television personality Danielle most reminds me of and I've decided on Tess Daly.
She's a glamorous blonde northerner who comforts the poor contestants in her backstage area (which I hope is still painted orange), whilst protecting them from the four nasty judges/producers. If Tess Daly wore Ugg boots it would be perfect.

Although Tess Daly always strikes me as being an appalling stuck up cunt (I've heard reports to back this up too), so the similarity ends there for me.

Oh don't worry, I think that was obvious.
I know, but having just referenced Dudley's most disturbing joke about Danielle, I wanted to make sure I didn't add "you're a stuck up cunt" to the list.
Since going back into the studios and seeing Danielle again, I'd like to rejuvenate this thread.
I think Danielle is worth appreciating - does a wonderful job and doesn't mind sitting in the green room chatting to you while you're trying to spout off random 8s. Oh, and she has nice eyes.
