Overview

  • On a June 30 repeat episode, chaser Jenny Ryan responded “red and silver” when asked about semi-skimmed milk bottle tops and host Bradley Walsh accepted the answer.
  • Viewers argued that green is the standard for semi-skimmed milk caps on plastic cartons, accusing ITV of rigging by accepting a contested response.
  • News outlets clarified that red and silver stripes denote semi-skimmed milk in glass bottles, though these are less common than green-topped cartons.
  • ITV has not issued a formal statement on whether it will review the question wording or its acceptance.
  • In the final chase, Ryan overtook contestants Nick and Laura, who had built a £3,000 pot, to secure her victory.
