WHO Wants To Be A Millionaire fans correctly answered a £500,000 question one player refused to risk his winnings on.
The hit ITV quiz show continued on Sunday night as Jeremy Clarkson welcomed a new batch of contestants.
Eagle-eyed viewers watched as Jack – an avid viewer of the show – tried his luck in the hot seat.
He successfully answered the £250,000 question but when it came to the half a million pound question he decided to bow out.
Jeremy, 64, asked him: “Which food term can also mean the tiny layer of bubbles that forms at the top of a glass of sparkling wine?”
Jack had four answers to choose from – Mousse, Ganache, Fondant, and Soufflé.
Deliberating, Jack then told Jezza: “I don’t drink sparkling wine, so it would be a complete guess.
“And I’ve got no lifelines, none of my friends would probably know, so I’m going.”
Jeremy then declared: “Well there you go, ladies and gentleman.
“You’re leaving here with a quarter of a million pounds!”
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire viewers at home were left impressed by Jack’s game play, but correctly guessed the right answer.
Taking to social media, one said: “I knew the answer to that £500,000 question.”
