Viewers left in disbelief as Jeremy Clarkson accepts 'wrong' answer on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire
Who Wants to be a Millionaire viewers are sure they've spotted a mistake in one of the questions on the latest episode of the quiz show.
During Sunday's (24 November) episode of the ITV quiz show there was plenty of drama to be had, including one contestant who walked away with an impressive £125,000 and someone else who had to use a lifeline on his very first question as he didn't know what a knickerbocker glory was.
However, what really got viewers stirred up was a question which they were sure was incorrect and had more than one right answer on the board.

The question in question was posed to contestant Emily for her to win £4,000 and asked her: "Which of these is the only person to have been a regular judge on both Strictly Come Dancing and Britain’s Got Talent?"
Her options to choose from were Amanda Holden, Bruno Tonioli, Darcey Bussell and Alesha Dixon, and Emily told host Jeremy Clarkson that the right answer was Alesha Dixon.
This was accepted as the correct answer and Emily's attempts to win a million quid continued, but the viewers at home were spitting proverbial feathers as they saw something wrong with the questions and answers.
Storming onto social media, Who Wants to be a Millionaire viewers said they were 'screaming at the screen' that more than one of those four possible answers was correct.
Another fan asked 'am I going insane' as they pointed out that Bruno Tonioli has also been a regular judge on both shows.
"When the hell was this episode filmed, 2019?" someone else wondered.
Just to explain, both Bruno Tonioli and Alesha Dixon have been regular judges on both Strictly and BGT, though Tonioli didn't start on Britain's Got Talent until 2023.
It's possible that the episode was filmed before he started on the show, which would have made the question and answer right when it was recorded even if there are now two correct answers.
During the episode Emily used her lifeline on the question, with those sitting in the studio overwhelmingly voting for Dixon as the correct answer, so it's likely that this episode was filmed before Tonioli got to become a judge on Britain's Got Talent.
Just before the episode started ITV did play a disclaimer to viewers saying 'all answers were correct at the time of recording', so perhaps this is just a segment which was filmed quite a long time ago and has taken ages to make it to our screens.
