Who Wants to Be a Millionaire viewers were left horrified after a contestant was “taught a very expensive lesson” after losing £875,000 in the final question.
During the latest episode of ITV, presenter Jeremy Clarkson welcomed contestant Jackie Lynch as she battled to win a million pounds.
Jackie got off to a rough start and didn’t instill much confidence in viewers after she used up all her lifelines in the early rounds.
But she soon showed what she could do and managed to climb the money ladder unscathed to £125,000.
In a tactical move, Jackie used her security at this point, which meant that no matter what happened next, she would go home with a lot of cash.

During the latest episode of ITV, host Jeremy Clarkson watched contestant Jackie Lynch head to the chair in the hope of winning a million pounds.
And her decision to play it safe was evidently the smarter one, as she was stumped by the next question about Floyd Mayweather’s 2015 boxing fight.
He decided not to guess and said he would take the money and leave.
But could you have guessed the question correctly?
The question was: “Dubbed the ‘fight of the century.’ Floyd Mayweather’s 2015 boxing match against which opponent was the highest-grossing in history?”
For multiple choice answers you were given the following options to choose from: ‘Oscar De La Moya, Saúl “Caneloa” Álvarez, Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor.
Before revealing who would have guessed A, Oscar De La Moya, Jackie firmly said that she was not going to guess and that she would take the money.
The correct answer was Manny Pacquiao.
But his play left his fans in a frenzy as they believed he could have hit the jackpot if he hadn’t made such a “costly mistake.”
