Read our privacy policy Countdown star Susie Dent has shared an “exceptionally appropriate” word of the day ahead of the announcement of the UK’s new prime minister. Ahead of the announcement, Countdown lexicographer Dent shared a “hilarious” choice for her word of the day. “A situation in chess in which a move must be made, but each possible one will make the situation worse.” It did not take long for fans to pick up on the apparent subtext of the tweet, which is supposedly a reference to the race for prime minister. Dent is not the only one cracking jokes about the forthcoming political announcement, with Joe Lycett leaving TV viewers in hysterics after the comedian claimed to be a “right-wing” Tory supporter while discussing politics on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg.
