Fans of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire<\/a> fumed over a \u00a364,000 question on the ITV<\/a> show, which left everyone stumped and had viewers declaring it should have been the \u00a3250,000 option. Natalie Waldegrave, a data analyst from Solihull, took her seat in the chair after winning the fastest finger and had a relatively struggle-free run to \u00a332,000. With two lifelines left she decided to set her safety net at the \u00a364,000 question which happened to be a geography one – a subject which she admitted was not her best.<\/p>\n

However, viewers at home were raging at the question, which was: “Which of these popular tourist lakes is the largest by area? Lake Windermere, Lake Garda, Lake Tahoe, or Lake Titicaca.” As Natalie appeared stumped she asked host Jeremy Clarkson<\/a> what he thought. However, the Clarkson’s Farm<\/a> star was of no use to her, although he revealed he had visited all of them except Titicaca. “I’ve driven boats across the others. I’ve got a water ski record on Lake Windermere,” he revealed. “…This is a nightmare question he admitted.<\/p>\n

Conceding defeat he admitted: “I’ve got to be honest with you, I would not be able to say…if I give you an answer and you go for it, you’d lose \u00a331,000 pounds. I couldn’t have that on my conscience.”<\/p>\n

“…I’m literally useless too. I am so sorry. I’d love to be able to help you out but that is my final answer. No,” he said. “Honestly, I can only apologise to you for this question, because it’s a proper nightmare.”<\/p>\n

Unwilling to risk the \u00a332,000 she had already accumulated Natalie walked away and viewers had a lot of thoughts.<\/p>\n

Taking to X one said: “No one seems to have a clue on this particular question. So it’s little shock that Natalie is walking with \u00a332k.”<\/p>\n

Another added: “I doubt many would know this Windermere\/Garda\/Tahoe\/Titicaca.” A third chimed in: “Jeremy stumped,” followed by a shocked face emoji.<\/p>\n

A fourth insisted: “#WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire That’s a 250k question.”<\/p>\n

Jeremy himself said: “I don’t think there’s anyone in the room could answer that, or the world. It is one of those tricky ones,” before asking Natalie what she would have said.<\/p>\n

She admitted she was veering towards Titicaca which he then revealed was the correct answer. Although he added: “I don’t blame you for not risking it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fans of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire fumed over a \u00a364,000 question on the ITV show, which…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":488406,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[93,61,60,8642,209893,10235,209897,183501,209895,209896,209898,209894],"class_list":["post-488405","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-itv","tag-itv-who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire","tag-jeremy-clarkson","tag-jeremy-clarkson-who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire","tag-who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire","tag-who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire-news","tag-who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire-updates","tag-wwtbam-itv","tag-wwtbam-questions"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/488405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=488405"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/488405\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/488406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=488405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=488405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=488405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
