After struggling with a motorsport question, Amy got through and set her safety net at £32,000. She then managed to get the £64,000 question right before taking on the £125,000 question. It was: "Which of these species of tree lives the longest?" She was given the options: "A) Yew, B) Oak, C) Sweet chestnut and D) Beech." She immediately said with a grimace: "I kill a lot of my plants, so trees are not my strong suit. "I know an Oak tree is very old, but I don't know if that's just old tales and hearing that. "I don't know a Sweet chestnut, and I've seen a Yew tree and a Beech tree but I don't know how old they are." As she debated about having a stab at it, Jeremy reminded her that if she got it wrong, she'd lose £32,000 but would go away with the £32,000 safety net. Amy said: "I think I might as well go for it, no point in not doing it, right?"
