WHO Wants To Be A Millionaire viewers were left raging after a contestant burned through all three lifelines on a question they deemed ridiculously easy.
Host Jeremy Clarkson returned on Saturday night for a star-studded edition of the popular game show.
Olympic champion cyclist Dame Laura Kenny and Channel 4 News anchor Krishnan Guru-Murthy tried to win up to £1 million for their chosen charities.
However, ITV viewers were left gobsmacked when the Olympic legend burned through three lifelines on a question they thought was a breeze.
The five-time gold medalist stormed through the early rounds but hit a roadblock at £16,000 when asked which 1980s film had sequels titled Afterlife and Frozen Empire.
Despite having Ghostbusters as an option, she turned to host Jeremy Clarkson, 50:50, and even phoned a friend – leaving fans at home in disbelief.
Jeremy admitted that he was not 100% certain either, but ruled out The Terminator and Top Gun.
Fans flocked to social media to slam the blunder, with many insisting they knew the answer straight away.
One viewer raged: “How the heck did neither this Olympian or Jeremy Clarkson know that Afterlife and Frozen Empire are Ghostbusters movies?
“The latter literally came out last year! Such an easy question it could have been a thousand pound one.”
Another added: “Was ‘Afterlife’ not a bit of a clue as to what the answer might be?”
A third penned: “She should have phoned a friend and he would have said who you going to call and she would have said Ghostbusters.”
