Jasamrit Rahala, 17, lives with his family at a modest two-up two-down in Slough, Berkshire. Turning to Countdown, the game show at 7 years of age, he has won a King’s Scholarship at Eton College and has qualified for Countdown finals after winning seven games of the Channel 4 show last week.
His first public attention came at 10 years of age when he was the runner-up in Child Genius. Before two years he joined forces with his father, Santokh and his cousin Parvon in the ITV contest Britain’s Brightest Family. However, Rahala is sworn in to secrecy on how he did in the Countdown finals before they are broadcast in December. He plans to apply for Mastermind and Only Connect when he turns 18.
