Countdown star Susie Dent was urged to smell POO live on air by Springwatch legend, Chris Packham.
In today’s episode (Tuesday April 27), 59-year-old Chris brought out a container full of bear poo to the astonishment of everyone.
And one whiff of the faeces made Susie screw up her face and exclaim: “That’s strong!”
What happened on Countdown today?
Chris appeared in Dictionary Corner with lexicologist Susie, with Nick Hewer once again in the presenting chair and Rachel Riley at the board.
As contestants Dave and Thomas battled it out, the conversation soon turned to excrement.
Chris was keen to teach the panel all about animal and human beings’ digestive systems and poo.
After speaking about animal faeces, he then moved on to humans.
