You're not alone in this, jenx. We said exactly the same thing. Sorry this is not an answer, but perhaps someone else will put us out of our misery.

I think it was Countdown, but I am not 100% sure. Quite a few contestants appear on other programmes. They seem to do 'the rounds'.

...and end up on 'Eggheads'!

Countdown was the biggie. The chap was Chris Wills, who won series 47 in 2002 and is undoubtedly one of the all-time great Countdown champs. That he didn't win the ensuing Champion-of-Champions contest is down to the fact that the quality of Countdown champions reached an all-time high around that time, with players like Graham Nash (the winner of the C-of-C event) and Julian Fell, probably the number one greatest Countdowner of all time.
