Little known fact about Susie Dent (dictionary corner - countdown) was not only a thicko at 14 years of age but was rather hard, she was the southern counties under 16 kick boxing champion, stated to get a team place in the Commonwealth Games but forced out by a broken nose from a bout against Naga Munchetty's older sister, Slama.
The broken nose was to be the catalyst in her educational rise to her current position, whilst recuperating from the injury, Slama jokingly bet her she couldn't read the dictionary.
Hey-Ho there began her love of words.
