Dion Dublin loses huge five-figure sum on Millionaire celebrity special – would you have got it right?
FOOTIE legend Dion Dublin was left red-faced on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? after losing a huge five-figure sum. The former Homes Under the Hammer presenter, 56, had the pressure on him on during his stint on the ITV quiz show after revealing he was playing for two charities close to his heart. 3 3 While in the hot seat, Dion explained that he was hoping to raise serious cash for the Dianne Oxberry Trust — named after the beloved BBC weather presenter who died in 2019. Dianne passed away shortly after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Dion revealed he was also raising money for the Pet Blood Bank, a charity that he and his wife Cheryl are both devoted to. With emotions running high, Dion looked to set his safety net at a cool £32k. However, hoping for more money, he decided to gamble. The telly star had already used up two lifelines when host Jeremy Clarkson hit him with the question: 'Which of these events did not occur in the 1990s?' The possible answers were: A) John Major becomes PM, B) Dolly the sheep is born, C) Eden Project opens, or D) FA Premiere League is founded. Dion was quick off the mark with the initial thought it might be John Major becoming Prime Minister. He took a 50/50 to whittle the options down — and was left with John Major and The Eden Project opening. Needing backup, he phoned a friend. But not just any pal — his accountant Marco. Marco confidently declared it was John Major. 'I'll go with Marco because he knows his stuff,' Dion said, trustingly. But Marco definitely didn't know his stuff. Clarkson delivered the blow with his typical charm: 'That's the wrong answer. He followed Thatcher, didn't he? "It was 1990 exactly. The Eden Project opened in 2001.' Dion's face dropped as Jezza delivered his final quip: 'You need a new accountant.' Instead of a bumper prize pot, Dion walked away with just £1,000 — split between the two charities. Did you know the correct answer? Let us know in the comments below. 3

Jeremy Clarkson set for ITV return later this year as he lands another series of hit quiz show
Keep scrolling to find out more about the show's return coming back Jeremy Clarkson set for ITV return later this year as he lands another series of hit quiz show JEREMY Clarkson will be back on screen for ITV after his hit quiz show landed another series. The presenter and journalist, 65, has appeared in programmes such as Top Gear, The Grand Tour and Clarkson's Farm. Advertisement 3 Who Wants To Be A Millionaire has landed another series Credit: ITV 3 Jeremy also stars in Prime Video hit show Clarkson's Farm Credit: Amazon In 2018, Jeremy became the host of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire. Viewers will soon have new episodes to enjoy - as the beloved game show has been renewed for another series. In addition, Millionaire will be returning to ITV and ITVX this autumn, with five new episodes. Contestants take part hoping to win a life-changing £1 million jackpot. Advertisement To help them along the way, they have four lifelines - Ask the Audience, 50/50, Phone A Friend and Ask the Host. A recent episode saw Jeremy left stunned as he estimated one contestant lost "the biggest amount of money in Millionaire history". University Challenge alum Nicholas Bennett, from West Hampstead, breezed through several questions with relative ease. He soon faced the £1 million jackpot question - with the benefit of having two lifelines intact. Advertisement Jeremy asked him: "Which of these words, each coined by a famous writer, was derived from the tale of of a fairytale about three princes?" Meanwhile, the options were A) Pandemonium, B) Serendipity, C) Utopia and D) Yahoo. Who Wants To Be A Millionaire's Jeremy Clarkson left stunned as contestant makes 'show history' Nicholas had an early hunch that it may be Yahoo but wasn't certain. He opted to use his Ask the Host lifeline, only for Jeremy to also be uncertain. Advertisement After using Phone A Friend, he selected Yahoo - only to learn the right answer was Serendipity. Elsewhere, Jeremy sold his giant new £85,000 Lamborghini tractor - just months after buying it for Diddly Squat Farm. The hit Prime Video documentary follows Jeremy running his farm in the Cotswolds - helped by a memorable supporting cast. He offloaded the tractor at an auction and told others it had been dogged by numerous electrical problems. Advertisement Who has won the jackpot on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Who Wants to Be a Millionaire has offered hundreds of hopeful contestants the chance to become millionaires, but there has only been a handful of lucky winners. There have only been five real winners so far on the show as Charles Ingram, who was the third winner of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? in 2001, had his claim to the prize thrown out because of cheating allegations. The official winners are... Judith Keppel In 2000, garden designer Judith Keppel made quiz show history as she became the first ever winner of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Judith is also the only woman ever to have won the million-pound prize. David Edwards Former physics teacher David became the second contestant to win the top prize in April 2001. Following his success, Edwards went on to compete in both series of Are You an Egghead? in 2008 and 2009. Robert Brydges Oxford-educated banker Robert became the third Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? champion when he won the quiz show several moths after David in 2001. Robert has stayed out of the limelight since his win. Pat Gibson World champion Irish quiz player Pat won the show in 2004. Amazingly Pat had TWO of his lifelines still available for his final question, something no other winner has managed. Ingram Wilcox Ingram came close to losing on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? in 2006 as he had used all his lifelines up at the £32,000 mark, but in a shocking twist he went on to scoop the jackpot. Farm manager Kaleb Cooper, 26, was gobsmacked at the size of the Lambo he chose. An engineer who saw Jeremy, Kaleb and a film crew at the sale in Sutton, near Ely, Cambs, said: 'He was right next to his huge tractor. 'It was great to see him. I'm a fan. 'I watched every Top Gear with my dad and watch the Clarkson's Farm with my son.' Advertisement
