After one show star was left foxed by a difficult art question earlier in the week and another fell foul of a poetry brain-teaser, one show star managed to bag a substantial amount of cash in the latest episode.
In the fifth instalment of the latest season, Andy Bennett was in the hot seat.
Andy was told he would have 30 seconds to respond to the question: “Which of these words can mean running or race in its original language?”
The options presented were Corsa, Fiesta, Corolla and Tiguan.

He immediately ruled out Fiesta and Corolla before he said: “I don’t know what Tiguan means.
“But I’ve got a feeling Corsa might be a race, so I am going to say Corsa final answer”.
Jeremy congratulated him on the correct answer and asked: “What are you going to spend it on?”
Andy replied: “I would love to get to see the rest of the Grand Slam tennis finals.

“So we went to Wimbledon last year so we’ve got New York, Melbourne and Paris.
“So all unfortunately very expensive shopping experiences”.
Jeremy agreed and said: “They are, but this will help, I hope you enjoy it”.
Unlike the original Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, the spin-off sees six contestants take turns in Jeremy Clarkson’s famous Hot Seat with only one winner.
Players race against the clock without any lifelines. A correct answer moves the game up the money ladder, while a wrong answer knocks the contestant out and reduces the jackpot.
They can also pass, sending them to the back of the queue and forcing the next player to tackle the same question.
Jeremy has previously likened the format to “a very expensive game of musical chairs”.
Millionaire Hot Seat airs tonight at 7.30pm on ITV1 and ITVX and continues every weeknight.
