Overview
- Michael McIntyre’s BBC quiz show returned on Saturday, 25 October, launching a new series with seven celebrity panellists including Joe Marler.
- Sally, a lollipop lady from Gateshead who received the all-clear from lung cancer earlier this year, won the £110,000 jackpot after selecting Marler for the final.
- The winning answer identified Jade Jones’s Olympic discipline as taekwondo following a double-or-nothing decision that left both visibly nervous.
- The payout ranks among the show’s biggest, with The Independent reporting it as the second-highest total in the programme’s history.
- Sally said she will thank friends who supported her through treatment and fund a camper-van project, as viewers praised the episode’s emotional moments, including a contestant who said Marler inspired her to take up rugby.
