Actress crashes out of Who Wants to be Millionaire after using lifeline on tough question – would you have got it?
AN actress was wiped out on Who Wants To Be a Millionaire thanks to a tricky Shakespeare question - but would you have got it? Jeremy Clarkson welcomed Nina Wadia to the ITV quiz's famous hotseat. 4 4 4 The former EastEnders star exhausted three lifelines before facing the £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?" 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. 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. Meanwhile, viewers recently saw a player use two lifelines on the £1m question - only to answer incorrectly. Devastating moment Who Wants To Be A Millionaire player uses two lifelines on £1m question and LOSES- but could you get it right- University Challenge alum Nicholas Bennett got through several round with relative ease. His £1m puzzler asked: "Which of these words, each coined by a famous writer, was derived from the tale of of a fairytale about three princes?" He could have chosen between A) Pandemonium, B) Serendipity, C) Utopia and D) Yahoo. Uncertain, he asked Jeremy and then used Phone A Friend - with neither possessing the correct answer. He opted for his initial thought, Yahoo - only to soon learn it was incorrect. 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." 4
