Desperate Millionaire player uses TWO lifelines on tough £8k Prince question – but could you get it on first try?
A DESPERATE Millionaire player used two lifelines on a tough £8k Prince question - but could you get the answer on the first try? Jeremy Clarkson welcomed Tarn Vaid, a pharmacist from Derby, to the famous black chair after he won fastest finger first. 4 A desperate Millionaire player used two lifelines on a tough £8k Prince question - but could you get it on the first try? 4 Tarn admitted he didn't know and chose to call a friend Tarn raced through the first few rounds with ease but stumbled over a question about films and had to ask the audience. They helped him answer correctly that the 1990s film set on a bus was of course - correctly called Speed. But he had to use another two lifelines when he was faced with the £16k question. Jeremy asked: "What is the name of the Minnesota estate that was the home and recording studio of the musician Prince?" His choice of answers were A. Menlo Park, B. Fenway Park, C. Gosford Park or D. Paisley Park. Tarn admitted that he had no idea so he decided to use another of his lifelines to phone a friend. However, his friend was unsure and explained that although he thought it was Gosford or Paisley he couldn't be certain. Jeremy then went on to explain to Tarn that if he got the question wrong he would lose £7k and if he got it right it would be on £16k. Tarn decided that since his friend wasn't decisive he'd use another life line and chose 50-50 to make sure. Left with Fenway or Paisley Park, Tarn then chose Paisley and after getting the answer right set his safety net at £32K. Who Wants to be a Millionaire player with no lifelines forced to take money after struggling with difficult history question - but did you know it? Unfortunately, however he was unable to answer the question but he walked away with a massive £16k win. It's not the first time contestants have been forced to walk away on the ITV show. A past episode saw a player with no lifelines forced to walk away after a difficult history question. June Walker, from Galashiels, got through the first few rounds, but seemed stuck on a tricky history question. 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. With a possible £125,000 up for grabs, there was a lot riding on answering correctly. The question asked: "Which of these was a plot to assassinate Elizabeth I?" A) Rye House Plot, B) Bye Plot, C) Babington Plot and D) Despard Plot." Having used all her lifelines earlier in the show, she was therefore completely on her own. June had an inkling about one option but ultimately decided to play safe. She told Jeremy: "I don't know it well enough. No. Take the money, final answer." As a result, she walked away having won an incredible £64,000. 4 Jeremy revealed the answer to be Paisley Park and Tarn made it to the next question 4 June opted to take the money she won on the show and to walk away Who Wants to be a Millionaire airs on ITV1 and ITVX.

Jeremy Clarkson asked: "Which of these are traditionally swapped by opposing players at the end of a football match? The choices were Shirts, Shorts, Boots or Socks and not being a big football fan, the audience helped her correctly choose shirts. She then had to use Jeremy as her second lifeline when she was asked to name the thoroughfare that connects Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyrood House. But Faridah made it to her safety net of £1000 by confidently answering the next question that came along. However, the £2000 question confused her, when Jeremy asked: "Which recurring TV soap character has been played by Lisa Riley since 1995." The choices were A. Mandy Dingle, B. Kim Tate, C. Tracy Barlow or D. Sharon Mitchell. Faridah said: "I've got absolutely no clue, I'm not a soap fan." She then decided to use her third lifeline and go 50-50 and was left with A and C - Faridah then took a guess at Mandy Dingle.
