The Wheel contestant leaves BBC show with ZERO pounds after everyone fails to answer jackpot question in 'rare' result - but could you have guessed it right?
A contestant on The Wheel went home with zero pounds after every celebrity failed to guess a jackpot prize question on an episode of the BBC show.
The popular programme sees members of the public try to win cash prizes by answering quiz questions in specific categories, with the help of a number of celebrity experts.
As The Wheel spins, contestants hope they will land on the celebrity who has the right knowledge to help with their question.
However, one episode has gone viral after a contestant walked away empty-handed leaving host Michael McIntyre stunned.
The show started off smoothly, with each hopeful sailing through the rounds up until the end of the game.
Could you have done better than these participants?
Fans watched as contestant Jonathan took on a question for a prize of £52,000 with help from YouTube star Harry Pinero.
He was asked: 'When fully grown, which of these species of shark is typically the largest? Great hammerhead shark, Great white shark, Tiger shark or Basking shark.'
Unfortunately for Jonathan, Harry confessed he had 'no clue' but answered Hammerhead Shark - but the correct answer was a Basking Shark.
Gillian was up next and faced a £26,000 question with Mark Wright.
They were asked: 'Which country is the world's largest producer of coffee? Brazil, Colombia, India or Kenya.'
While they were both drawn to Columbia, they were gutted to learn the right answer was in fact Brazil.
Luckily for Gillian, she had another shot at cracking The Wheel, with comedian Katherine Ryan stepping in to help her with a £13,000 question.
They were asked: 'Of these restaurants, which opened in the UK first? KFC, McDonald's, Domino's or Wagamamas.'
Katherine, 42, admitted she hadn't been in the UK that many years to know for sure, but noted that McDonald's is long in business.
Gillian agreed, sharing how she remembers having birthday parties there as a child.
Have you guessed it?
In a shock to them both, it was revealed KFC was the oldest restaurant chain from the list.
While Gillian was devastated at the result, funnyman Michael, 49, called the episode a 'heartbreaker' and pointed out how it's 'rare' contestants leave the show empty-handed.
Closing the show, he told viewers: 'We have no winner tonight, but thank you to all our experts. We'll see you next time - and hopefully we'll have a winner then - on The Wheel.'
The Wheel airs on BBC One and is available now on iPlayer.
