WHO Wants To Be A Millionaire? fans were left shocked when a contestant went home with just £1,000 after “forgetting about lifelines”.
ITV viewers were left baffled on Sunday night when Bhupinder Kaler took a gamble on a question despite having two lifelines remaining.
The solicitor from Greenwich in London was gutted when she lost £7,000 on the show and said that she regretted not using her lifelines.
Going for £16,000, the contestant was asked the following question: “The term Luddite originally applied to disgruntled workers in which industry?”
She was given the options of farming, mining, textile or ceramics.
The contestant was clueless about the answer but instead of phoning a friend with her two available lifelines, she took a risky guess.
An unsure Bhupinder told host Jeremy Clarkson: “I think its mining, I don’t know why, it’s just something very deep in my thought process.”
Sadly, her punt didn’t pay off and she walked away from the gameshow with just £1,000.
The right answer was textile and a defeated Bhupinder was left gutted that she didn’t use her lifelines.
She said before departing: “I should have used my lifelines.”
“Yes, you should have, that’s what they’re there for,” Jeremy agreed.
A number of fans were left in disbelief that Bhupinder had taken a gamble despite still having two lifelines.
One wrote: “Why would you go on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and not use your lifelines?”
Another posted: “Bhupinder was never going to get big money after using two lifelines so early but it’s just silly to take a punt on a question she didn’t know when she had two lifelines left.”
A third agreed: “Why on earth would you gamble your money when you have the option to take your money and go?”
During the same episode, fans were left fuming as a primary school teacher failed to know the colour of Disney character Dory from Finding Nemo.
Viewers could not hide their disbelief as the contestant used two lifelines in an attempt to answer the question correctly.
Dan Huxley took the chair and was doing well until he got to the £8,000 question.
It read: “In the films ‘Finding Nemo’ and ‘Finding Dory’, which of these characters are mainly blue in colour?”
Dan was given the options Marlin, Dory, Nemo or Bubbles but could not give Jeremy an answer.
“I think Nemo is some sort of goldfish, but I don’t know,” he admitted before opting to call his dad.
Dan explained: “I’m hoping with three grandchildren he may have accidentally seen this film.”
When his dad failed to help, he went for 50/50 as Clarkson goaded him over the fact he was a teacher.
Dan admitted it was “so embarrassing.”
One viewer tweeted: “Literally who doesn’t know that Dory is blue???!! 
#whowantstobeamillionaire”.
