Overview

• Nicholas Bennett advanced to the £1 million question after correctly answering the first 14 rounds without touching his lifelines.
• He exhausted Ask Jeremy and Phone a Friend on the finale but still chose 'Yahoo' instead of the correct answer, 'Serendipity'.
• That error cost him £375,000, marking the largest single-question loss in the show’s 27-year history.
• Having hit the £125,000 safety net earlier, Bennett still walked away with that sum despite risking it all.
• Host Jeremy Clarkson praised Bennett’s performance and noted that only six contestants have ever won the £1 million top prize since 1998.
