Viewers of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? on Sunday (March 9) night were left baffled as a ‘wrong’ answer was accepted as being correct.
Host Jeremy Clarkson asked contestant Neel Clements a question relating to royal history – and the GP made use of one of his lifelines to progress to the next question.
But despite turning to ‘Ask the Audience’, and making it through to the next stage after following their advice, some ITV fans fumed over the glaring error that saw Neel offered only inaccurate options as answers.
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? answer ‘wrong’
The confusion arose as Neel was asked about Henry VIII’s six wives.
The question, as it read on screen, was: “Which of King Henry VIII’s wives did he marry last, making her the one who ‘survived’ according to the well-known rhyme?”
‘Katherine Parr’, ‘Anne of Cleves’, ‘Katherine Howard’, and ‘Katherine of Aragon’ were laid out as the options for the answer.
And while Neel selected ‘Katherine Parr’ after seeking support from others in the studio, he sailed through.
However, those watching at home pondered whether the potential answers contained up to as many as THREE errors.
