QUIZ show fans are in for a treat this week with an ITV general knowledge legend appearing on Channel 4’s Countdown.
Paul Sinha, aka The Sinnerman, has stopped many a quizzer from taking home a cash prize on ITV‘s The Chase, and this week the star appeared on a rival quiz show.
Paul Sinha stepped up the challenge of Dictionary Corner
The Chase’s Paul Sinha beat Countdown host Colin’s ‘impossible’ questions
Countdown host Colin Murray welcomed Paul back onto the show as he took up a seat in Dictionary Corner alongside Susie Dent.
Colin wanted to try and outsmart the former British Quiz Champion guest and challenge him with questions he might not know.
Colin asked: “What country has the most pyramids?”
Paul replied: “Weirdly, I didn’t know this until four days ago. It’s not Egypt it’s Sudan.”
“Damn it! It is Sudan,” an annoyed Colin said as he admitted defeat.
Numbers-whizz, Rachel Riley also joked with Paul about the greatest movie of all time, while she stunned viewers in a stylish floral dress.
Rachel questioned: “What is the top-rated movie on IMDB?”
Feel confident, Colin pipped up and added that he’s got “no chance” of knowing the right answer.
Much to his dismay, Paul got it in one: “The Shawshank Redemption.”
Rachel joked, saying: “No, actually, it’s Sharknado 6,” before she continued: “Of course it’s Shawshank, yeah.”
In another effort, Colin told Rachel to “lift her game, ” prompting her to ask a question at singing sensation Cher.
Rachel started: “It came out that my best friend loves Cher from her hen do, so what’s Cher’s full name?”
Without skipping a beat, Paul replied: “I don’t know if she has a middle name, but it’s Cherilyn Sarkisian.”
The studio audience applauded as Colin said, “That’s amazing.”
Countdown airs weekdays from 2:10pm on Channel 4.
