The host of the British version of Who wants to be a millionaire? was left with the mouth open after a competitor cut his arm on the question of the jackpot of 1 million pounds sterling and lost.
Jeremy Clarkson (who also presents Amazon Hit Clarkson farm) Asked the questions as a competitor Nicholas Bennett crossed the first laps of his challenge and found himself in possession of two lifestyles while he was facing his last question of 1 million pounds Sterling.
He had already guaranteed to go home with £ 125,000, but decided to put everything into play when he was facing the question:
“Which of these words, each invented by a famous writer, was derived from the title of a fairy tale on three princes: pandamonium, serendipity, utopia or yahoo?
Bennett used his first life buoy to ask the host, but Clarkson admitted that he had no idea, saying: “I cannot think of a fairy tale that represents three princes.”
The competitors then phoned a friend, her roommate Meg, who said that she did not know either. Bennett could have stayed with his £ 500,000 victory, but decided to go there, however, with Clarkson reminding him:
“£ 375,000 is what you play. I know you are still going with a lot but … ”
Bennett then gave “Yahoo” as a final response – causing a series of grimacant noises from the public.
Unfortunately for him, he was wrong. The correct answer was “the serendipity”, and the error of Bennett meant that he returned home “only” with his £ 125,000 previously implemented, a result with which he seemed sufficiently satisfied. While the public groans, Bennett smiled: “has always obtained £ 125,000.”
Clarkson said to him:
“Some things that I try to settle is that the greatest loss that we have suffered A millionaire History, and I don’t think I had a competitor that I appreciated more than you. “”
