Music icon uses final lifeline on tough 90s pop question on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire – but would you have got it?
A MUSIC icon was forced to use his final lifeline on a tough 90s pop question on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - but would you have got it? Jeremy Clarkson welcomed Jools Holland to the ITV quiz's famous hotseat. 7 7 Jools was in the hotseat for a special celebrity edition of the show, which also featured, Nina Wadia, and Ugo Monye, all aiming to win money for charity. When it was the piano man's time to face Jeremy, he struggled early on. He used both his "ask the audience" and "phone a friend" lifelines by the time he reached the £1,000 question. Jools then used his "50/50" on a question about Joe Wicks. So when he got to the big £16,000 question, he only had one lifeline left. Which was lucky because he was totally stumped when he was asked a question about the Spice Girls - a band he has a close relationship with. The answers to choose from were: A) Emma B) Geri C) Victoria or D) Melanie C. However the music legend, who appeared in the famous girl group's 1997 film SpiceWorld The Movie - was left scratching his head, and had to use his "ask the host" lifeline. Between him and Jeremy, they managed to answer the question correctly, which was, "C) Victoria." Celeb Millionaire contestant forced to use lifeline on tricky Shakespeare question - but could you get it right- After it was revealed he had got the question right, the pianist pretended to wipe his brow and fall off his chair in exasperation. Jools went onto bow out of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? with £16,000, which he donated to The Prince's Trust and Caring Hands charities. ACTRESS STUMPED In the same episode, fellow contestant, actress Nina Wadia, also found herself stumped - this time over a tricky Shakespeare question. The former EastEnders star has already exhausted three lifelines before facing the big £64,000 question. It posed: "The origin of the modern phrase 'there's a method in my madness' can be traced back to which Shakespeare tragedy?" 7 7 Nina's available options were A) King Lear, B) Macbeth, C) Othello or D) Hamlet. Having been asked by Jeremy, the star admitted she "loves Shakespeare" but was struggling to work out the correct answer. She believed either B) Macbeth or D) Hamlet was right, although wasn't fully certain on either. 7 Nina therefore opted to use her last lifeline - Ask the Audience - to help out. The results showed 43% believed the answer was Macbeth while Hamlet placed second with 32%. Nina selected Macbeth, but the correct answer turned out to be Hamlet. She still walked away with £32,000 for her charity - having set her safety net at that amount - in the episode first aired last year. 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. In the end, the right answer ultimately turned out to be B) Serendipity. Nicholas didn't let much disappointment show, as he optimistically said: "Still get £125,000." Speaking afterwards, Jeremy estimated: "We've just seen a contestant lose what we think is the biggest amount of money in Millionaire history." Who Wants To Be A Millionaire airs on ITV1 and ITVX. 7

EastEnders star wiped out of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? after struggling with Shakespeare question - do YOU know the answer?
An EastEnders star was wiped out of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? after she struggled with a Shakespeare related question. On Thursday, ITV aired a repeat of December's celebrity instalment of the quiz show, which saw soap star Nina Wadia, 56, attempt to win cash for charity. She worked her way through the questions and eventually used up three of her lifelines. However the star, who previously played Zainab Masood in EastEnders, found the £64,000 question particularly tricky. Host Jeremy Clarkson, 65, asked: 'The origin of the modern phrase 'there's a method in my madness' can be traced back to which Shakespeare tragedy?' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Nina had to choose between A) King Lear, B) Macbeth, C) Othello and D) Hamlet. 'I love Shakespeare and I actually know this but right now I can't... for me right now it's all of them,' she stressed. The actress was torn between Macbeth and Hamlet, confidently discarding the other two options. In the end, she decided to ask the audience for help and 43 percent selected Macbeth. 'I just instinctively feel it's Macbeth but then Hamlet...' she deliberated. 'Alright, I'm going with the audience and I'm saying my final answer is Macbeth,' the star decided. Jeremy teased: 'Good news, you haven't lost any money.' But then he revealed: 'That I'm afraid is the wrong answer.' The correct answer turned out to be Hamlet. Despite getting the answer wrong, Nina still managed to bag a huge amount for charity. The former Top Gear presenter said: 'Oh that is annoying isn't it. 'But it's not the absolute end of the world because in a way you're still leaving here with, for your charity, £32,000.' Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? airs on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
