Who Wants to Be A Millionaire fans in disbelief at what contestant did before they'd even won anything
Who Wants to Be A Millionaire? viewers were left scratching their heads after a player made a 'ridiculous' decision during Sunday's episode of the ITV gameshow. Who Wants to Be A Millionaire fans were left frustrated after a contestant's "ridiculous" mistake cost her £32,000 on Sunday's episode. In the latest episode of the popular ITV quiz show, Amy Helliwell was the first participant to take the hot seat and was on the verge of making it to the final question. The tourism officer had set her safety net at £32,000 and shared with host Jeremy Clarkson what she planned to do with the potential winnings, reports Edinburgh Live. "I'd cry for a bit, just in a dark room or something. And then, my car is a hand-me-down from my sister, as all of my things are probably. But I'd love to start my own business," Amy said. "In this economy, it's quite hard to do that, so this would be quite helpful towards it." She further explained: "I want to start a café, an Italian-style deli with ice cream and gelato. I love making that kind of stuff." After correctly answering a question about the US Declaration of Independence, Amy moved on to the £125,000 question. However, when asked about the longest living species of tree, Amy, from Stroud, Gloucestershire, confessed that horticulture wasn't her strong suit, admitting she "kills" a lot of plants. Despite her uncertainty, she decided to "take a chance" and chose oak as her final answer. "I think I might as well just go for it, there's no point in not doing it, right? I'm going to go for oak, final answer," Amy stated. "You are unbelievably brave, but sadly wrong," Jeremy responded, crushing her hopes. He continued: "Oh I am sorry Amy, I just love your attitude, though. And you are leaving here with £32,000, which is pretty good. I wish you all the very, very best with your new car and your café." However, audiences watching the episode were far from impressed with Amy's daring strategy as numerous viewers rushed to X - previously known as Twitter - to share their disappointment. Airing their frustration, viewer posted: "Can't believe she just did that. Basically gave up £32,000 on a guess." Another added: "What a silly thing to do." A different stunned fan of the show commented: "Can't believe she didn't take the £64,000". Someone else agreed, posting: "One risk too many. Ridiculous guess when you don't know it." However, not everyone was offended by Amy's choice as also on social media, one viewer offered some perspective to Amy's decision, saying: "Wild take, but I think gambling at £64,000 with a guaranteed £32,000 wasn't terrible, especially if she'd had her eye on £32,000 to start with. Gambling at £128,000, however, would have been WILD." Who Wants To Be A Millionaire continues on Sunday at 8pm on ITV.
