Tourism officer Amy Heliwell will take to infamous hot seat in tonight's episode.
During her game, Amy from Stroud comes up against a tricky motorsport question.
She is asked: "The motorsport event originally known as the Paris-Dakar Rally moved to which country in 2020?"
The options are A) Argentina, B) Saudi Arabia, C) Portugal and D) Algeria.
Amy revealed she had a logical guess in mind, but wasn't certain enough to go with it.
Faced with losing thousands of pounds, she has to be careful not to answer incorrectly.
Having already used two lifelines, Amy opts to utilise her Phone A Friend.
She calls up her friend Lewis - described by Amy as being a motorsport fan.
But as he doesn't know the answer either, she is left stuck in the same predicament.
To see how Amy fares, watch the episode tonight on ITV1 at 8pm.
Watch as devastated Who Wants To Be A Millionaire player loses £93k on tricky question – would you know the answer?
It comes as other contestants have been left heartbroken after losing out on thousands of pounds.
A recent episode saw Paul Sharpe make his way up the board to £64,000 with a £32,000 safety net.
And he had the potential to win another £93,000 when he made it to the £125,000 question.
He was asked: "Which of these is not the name of a US state capital?"
Paul was given the options: A) Lincoln, B) Richmond, C) Cambridge or D) Dover.
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.
He was stumped on the question, telling Jeremy: "I'm pretty sure that Cambridge is the state capital of Massachusetts."
Opting to use his Phone A Friend, who advised Dover, Paul went for this as his answer.
Unfortunately, it turned out to be incorrect as the answer was actually Cambridge.
Who Wants to be a Millionaire airs on ITV1 and ITVX.

Coronation Street fans rumble what really happened to Becky in sad Swain twist
Coronation Street fans are convinced they know what really happened to Becky - DS Lisa Swain's former partner - after Betsy learned some truths about Becky in tonight's episode Coronation Street fans have worked out what really happened to Becky. The character has never appeared on screen but she was a huge part of Lisa Swain's life before she arrived on the Cobbles. Lisa lost her partner Becky in the line of duty and has struggled with that since, unable to cope with the effect it had on their daughter Betsy and has feared her own danger whilst out on the beat after what happened to her late partner. Tonight, there was a shock twist as some truths came out about Becky, with more to come. Betsy found some files about Becky and whilst Swain tried to pass it off, Betsy continued her investigation with it looking like there was some corruption involved. We know Becky died in the line of duty after being run over by Mason's evil brothers during a robbery but now fans of the ITV soap have come up with a whole new theory about what happened to Becky. One fan wrote: "Becky Swain has either faked her own death or is in witness protection. Likely to next be seen alive at Carla & Lisa's wedding day when the guy asks if anyone has any objections." "So when Becky finally arrives, I need someone to make a joke about Lisa having a type. I'll even accept Becky saying it too," another added, with a third sharing: "Okay so Becky is either in whiteness protection or was a bent copper and idk what I'd love more #Corrie." There has been much talk about how well things are going for Carla and Lisa - affectionately named Swarla by fans - with Sydney Martin recently telling The Mirror that Betsy is rooting for them too. "I think secretly she would love it. Sydney would absolutely love it, but Betsy I think internally she would too. She knows the dynamic really works and she does truly see Carla as a stepmother and as family. But I think she would still be Betsy wouldn't she, and she would probably be embarrassed by them both," she told us. Vicky Myers - who plays Lisa - also shared her own hopes about the future for her character and Carla. She said: "I think a backstory would be great, but I think in time. There are so many other things that I think should be explored with the two of them and their extended family, and how they navigate life all together in their flat." Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

Inside Paris & Tyson Fury's new gypsy wagon which comes complete with light-up bed, traditional carpet & golf-leaf decor
PARIS Fury has showed off the extravagant new 'toy' her family are loving - a gigantic gypsy wagon with gold interiors and a sleeping area. The glam mum-of-seven uploaded a series of clips to Instagram showing off her kids enjoying the swanky caravan. 11 Paris and Tyson Fury have a new swanky toy at their £1.7million home Credit: Instagram 11 Paris showed off a traditional gypsy wagon on Instagram, which has a stove, bed and ornate decorations Credit: Instagram 11 A similar Bill Wright caravan sold for £32,000 - but it hasn't been confirmed what the Furys paid or hired the wagon for Credit: Boxing legend Tyson, aka the Gypsy King, could be seen tucking some cereal inside the wagon, which came with its own stove. Meanwhile, the kids looked delighted as they reclined on the bed inside the decadently-decorated wagon, which had velvet curtains, LED lights and a gold decor. Paris added the caption: 'The boys new toy. 'They really thought they were gonna stop in there and got scared when me and their dad walked out.' From the outside, the Bill Wright wagon looks like a traditional gypsy caravan, with the steps leading up inside the beautifully-decorated home. Although it hasn't been confirmed what Tyson and Paris paid for the wagon, if they bought it, a similar Bill Wright lodging, which dated back to 1910, sold for $44,000 (£32,576). While this number seems eye-watering, it is just peanuts for the Fury family, with Gypsy King Tyson estimated to have a staggering net worth of £110m. The couple appear to be making the most of their wealth recently, with the couple enjoying a child-free bank holiday to Monaco and Lake Como. During the luxury trip, they flew by private jet, watched the Formula 1 and went on a superyacht. It is not just mega-money fights where Fury - dad to Venezuela, 15, Prince John James, 13, Prince Tyson II, eight, Valencia, seven, Prince Adonis Amaziah, five, Athena, three, Rico, one - makes his millions. Inside mum-of-seven Paris Fury's glam bank holiday weekend away from the kids - from travelling in a private jet to night out partying with Tyson He also has his own Furocity energy drink, owns a number of bars, has three best-selling books and is endorsed by brands like Lucozade.

Inside Tyson and Paris Fury's love story WITH world champ titles, multiple kids and a beautiful wife by his side, Tyson is much-loved by the nation, but his romance with Paris dates back to their teenage years. Paris met Fury when she was just 15 at a mutual friend's wedding. However, it wasn't until a year later, when their paths crossed again on a night out in Doncaster for her 16th birthday, that they began dating. Paris explained: "He was my first boyfriend as I was not allowed a boyfriend until the age of 16. He is the only boyfriend I have had. 'Tyson would train in boxing during the week and then come and see me at the weekend. I would always be so excited at the thought of seeing him.' In 2008, they tied the knot in front of 400 guests and slept together for the first time on the night of their wedding. In 2016, Fury's mental health issues, cocaine and alcohol abuse, and intolerable mood swings threatened their seemingly unbreakable marriage. On occasion, Paris would even contemplate leaving - packing her bags and getting into her car. However, she'd just stop herself - admitting she couldn't leave Tyson to "crash and burn".
