Loose Women star misses out on Celebrity Bridge of Lies jackpot after choosing wrong answer – but could you have got it?
LOOSE Women star flunks jackpot question on Celebrity Bridge of Lies - but would you have nailed it? A Loose Women favourite came this close to scooping the cash prize on Celebrity Bridge of Lies - only to trip up on the final question and lose it all. 2 2 Sunetra Sarker, 52, made it all the way to the final bridge on the hit BBC quiz show, but her luck ran out just steps away from the jackpot. The Casualty and Ackley Bridge actress had been confidently spotting the lies from the truth all evening, impressing host Ross Kemp and cheering on her celeb teammates. But when it came to the crunch - the final question that stood between her and a big cash prize for charity — Sunetra chose the wrong answer, and the money vanished in a flash. Ross looked gutted as the bridge lit up in red, exposing the answer she should have picked. Fans at home were left shouting at their screens - but would YOU have got it right? Sunetra was tasked to spot the true fact out of four statements. They were: Virgo is the only star sign represented by a person, White chocolate contains cocoa butter, The first Red Nose Day took place before Live Aid, and Oddjob is the Bond villain in the film Thunderball. Sunetra was torn between two answers. But, after deliberating with her teammate Jason Mohammad, they agreed that "Oddjob is the Bond villain in the film Thunderball" was most likely the truth. Ross revealed it was a lie - as Oddjob is the Bond villain in the film Goldfinger - leaving Sunetra gutted. Carol Vorderman left stumped by 'easy' Jack Black question on Celebrity Puzzling Also in the episode, Sunetra failed to realise a true statement was about her fellow Loose Woman co-star. It read: "Tracey Stubbs is a character in Birds of a Feather." Sunetra guessed that it was true, and was relieved when Ross said she was correct. However, she was left stunned when Ross revealed: "Yeah, she's played by Linda Robson - your fellow Loose Women star!" Hardest Quiz Show Questions Would you know the answers to some of quizzing TV's hardest questions Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history. Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: 'From the 2000 awards ceremony onwards, the Best Actress Oscar has never been won by a woman whose surname begins with which one of these letters?' The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000. The 1% Club - Viewers of Lee Mack's popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed. The query went as follows: "Edna's birthday is on the 6th of April and Jen's birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir's birthday must be the 'X' of January." It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir's birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence. The Chase - The ITV daytime favourite left fans scratching their heads when it threw up one of the most bizarre questions to ever grace the programme. One of the questions asked the player: "Someone with a nightshade intolerance should avoid eating what?" The options were - sweetcorn, potatoes, carrots - with Steve selecting sweetcorn but the correct answer was potatoes. Sunetra replied: "You're kidding me! "She'll never forgive me.

Loose Women star in 'agony' and unable to walk after 'not glamorous' accident
Loose Women panelists reacted to the news that co-star Sunetra Sarker has injured both of her ankles after she shared her experience on the ITV show this afternoon A Loose Women panelist revealed that she's struggling to walk after a set of accidents recently. Sunetra Sarker, 52, opened up to her colleagues earlier about injuring both of her ankles, including sharing that she had been in "agony". Sunetra, 52 - known for her acting roles on Casualty and Ackley Bridge - spoke about her health on the ITV show this afternoon. She was joined on the panel today by Charlene White, 45, Janet Street-Porter, 78, and Jane Moore, 63. The actor unveiled her latest injury during a segment about "negativity bias". Charlene teased at one point: "Whether we liked it or not, Sunetra gave us a roll call of doom when she walked in this morning. So, go on, tell everyone!" Sunetra then revealed that she had sprained her right ankle at home two months ago. She recalled looking forward to being able to walk "properly" again weeks later before spraining her other ankle on her way to physiotherapy. Following the introduction from Charlene, Sunetra shared with the panel and fans: "Everyone I'm meeting now as soon as they come towards me I'm like 'get ready for the speech'. Things have been going from bad to worse!" She continued: "Six weeks ago I sprained my ankle. It was agony. I cannot explain how this hot pain ..." Charlene asked her: "How did you sprain that one?" Sunetra said: "I had a dead leg. I was trying to put my foot in a slipper. It's nothing showbiz. Sorry, it's not glamorous. I just was old and I couldn't get my foot in my slipper." She added on the show: "So then I've been 'poor me, poor me'. Strapped up. Everyone who sees me has been like 'oh you poor thing with your bandage on your leg'." Sunetra continued: "On my way to physio for said sprained ankle, six weeks after the injury, I'm thinking 'I'm nearly gonna be able to walk again properly'. On the way, my flip-flop gets caught under the doormat." Jane was seen laughing as Sunetra reacted: "Laughing already at my doom." She then recalled: "So my flip flop gets caught, I trip, my left leg comes out to save my face from hitting the ground and guess what, sprained left ankle [now]." Referencing her own character from the BBC medical drama, Sunetra continued: "So, now, Dr Zoe Hanna from Casualty is sitting in casualty for six hours being recognised by everyone [asking questions]." She then described the experience as "awful". Charlene noted that footwear was involved in both accidents, teasing: "We need to look at like your shoe game!" Sunetra, who had lifted up one of her crutches to show the audience moments earlier, responded: "Now it's crutches!" Jane went on to reveal that she had also laughed when she heard the story backstage prior to the episode being filmed. Jane said: "When she was telling me this morning, she said 'I was on my way to physio' and I just started laughing. I was like 'I'm so sorry I'm laughing but it's funny'." She added: "That is why I think we love ... I think it's a particularly British thing ... I think we love negativity because it's funny. It can be, obviously there's a large section of negativity that isn't. But mostly we tell negative stories because there's a bit of a punchline, they can be quite self-depricating and it makes you laugh." Loose Women continues tomorrow from 12.30pm on ITV and ITVX.

'Omg look who shows up when I was watching Classic Emmerdale – and still as stunning as ever,' another commented. Classic Emmerdale is broadcast on ITV3 from 1.25pm on weekdays. Emmerdale isn't the only show that Vicky has starred in before - she also had a significant part in Coronation Street before becoming DS Swain. In 1998 Vicky played a nurse at Weatherfield General during the tragic demise of Des Barnes. She had two more roles as an extra before landing the part of DS Swain.

Hermione Corfield plays Claire Fraser's mum Julia in the prequel show Blood of my Blood. The release of Outlander's prequel Blood of My Blood is just a few months away and fans are literally counting down the hours to get their Outlander fix. The brand new show will delve into the tales of how Jamie's and Claire's parents first crossed paths. The prequel is set to whisk viewers away to the "war-ravaged battlegrounds of World War One to the expansive Highlands of 18th Century Scotland", showcasing "two fresh love stories brimming with loyalty, passion and desire". The characters of Claire's parents, Julia and Henry, will be brought to life by We Hunt Together star Hermione Corfield and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again actor Jeremy Irvine. The parents of Jamie Fraser, Brian Fraser and Ellen MacKenzie, will be portrayed by Condor's Nest actor Jamie Roy and Belgravia: The Next Chapter actress Harriet Slater. And now, the four have reunited for the official premiere of the show in LA. Fans couldn't get enough of Hermione Corfield, who plays Claire's mother Julia Beauchamp, as she shared snaps on her Instagram page. Sharing a series of snaps of herself in a stunning blue and white floral dress, followed by a snap of the cast in a pink cart, Hermione penned: "Blood of my Blood screening at @sonypictures shot by @cibellelevi." Many fans flocked to the comments to compliment Hermione. One said: "Oh my! This is next level Hermione." Another penned: "These are some really stunning shots."

The prequel, titled Outlander: Blood Of My Blood, is based on both the original TV series and the book series by Diana Gabaldon. It delves into the early 20th Century in England and the 18th Century in Scotland. Blood Of My Blood will explore the love stories of Jamie's parents Brian and Ellen, who must navigate clan politics, while Claire's parents, Henry and Julia, maintain a long-distance relationship due to the war. Outlander fans will recall that Claire's parents tragically died in a car crash when she was just five-years-old, adding a layer of tragedy to their story.
