Overview
- Staff in Urmston, Greater Manchester, say a frequently winning team was caught whispering into smartwatches and using Shazam during the music round.
- Quiz host and co‑director Rob Hardie monitored the table, confronted the players, received an admission and barred them from future quizzes.
- An anonymous caller had identified the suspected team after regulars drifted away despite an earlier phone ban during questions.
- The pub announced the outcome on social media without naming the individuals, prompting intense local speculation as the team has not returned.
- The £30 bar‑tab prizes already won will not be revoked, and this week’s quiz will feature a “famous cheats” round to deter future rule‑breakers.
