Now he has been named as a 33-1 fourth favourite to be named as a replacement host for Anne Robinson, who has quit Channel 4’s Countdown after a year. Richard Osman, co-host of BBC’s Pointless, is the 4-1 favourite for the job.
Kamara, nicknamed Kammy, took to social media to react to the bookies’ odds.

He tweeted: “For 10 points make the longest word out of - Sirch Aramak - Nincompoop.”
If he took on the role, Kamara would follow in the footsteps of friend and Soccer Saturday host Jeff Stelling.
