Awkward Moment on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire: Contestant Stunned by Unexpected Voice
A contestant on Who Wants to be a Millionaire experienced an awkward moment when another man answered his wife’s ‘Phone a Friend’ call. JP Morgan, a science teacher from Lincoln, faced a surprising twist during his attempt to win £16,000.
Unexpected Turn of Events
JP Morgan, aiming for the £16,000 question about Germany, hoped his wife could assist him. The question was: “Which of these days is part of the weekend in Germany?” The options were:
- A) Donnerstag
- B) Mittwoch
- C) Sonntag
- D) Dienstag
Morgan mentioned his wife’s familiarity with Germany, making her an ideal lifeline. However, when host Jeremy Clarkson called her, a male voice answered instead, shocking both the audience and JP.
Jeremy Clarkson’s Reassurance
Jeremy Clarkson, 63, quickly reassured JP: “That was another man just answered your phone, relax, relax, it could be completely innocent.” Despite the initial shock, Elizabeth, JP’s wife, soon came to the phone, clarifying the situation.
Audience Reactions
The unexpected voice sparked speculation among viewers. One fan posted on X: “Break time question: who was the man that answered the phone when JP phoned his wife? #WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire.” Others humorously suggested it might expose an affair, while one viewer clarified: “The man answering was literally an automated voice saying ‘sorry there is no service’. Jeremy was JOKING about an affair.”
Final Decision
After the unusual incident, JP decided to take the safe route and left the show with £64,000, making the best out of an unexpectedly awkward moment.
Who Wants to be a Millionaire has had its share of dramatic moments over the years, but this one stands out as a memorable blend of humor and unexpected twists.
