Who Wants to be a Millionaire?ā€”an award-winning quiz show in which contestants can double their cash prize with each correct answer and win up to one million pounds has a huge fan following. Not just its tricky questions, but the British television game show made for the ITV network also has offered many moments for the viewers. One of the recent episodes has shocked and made the audience laugh at the same time. A contestant JP Hogan was left in shock when he called his wife for Phone a Friend lifeline, but an unknown man answered the call. Oops! The viral video from the show has made it to social media and cracked up the internet user, as netizens feel sorry for the poor couple.

The ITV show returned for a new run of episodes, shot in July, following social distancing measures. During the show, the science teacher, Hogan was baffled by a tricky question while playing for 16,000 Euros. The question was, ā€œWhich of these days is part of the weekend in Germany?ā€ with options Donnerstag, Mittwoch, Sonntag, or Dienstag. Since he was confused, he decided to use his Phone a Friend lifeline to ring his wife, Elizabeth.Ā 'Where Is the Great Wall of China?'

ā€œMy wifeā€™s auntie has lived in Germany for over 50 years, my wifeā€™s been there a few times,ā€ Hogan was explaining to the showā€™s host, Jeremy Clarkson. A male voice answered the call, and Jeremy exclaimed, ā€œThat was another man just answered your phone! Relax, relax, it could be completely innocent.ā€

However, the reality was completely the opposite than it may have seemed. On closer inspection, the manā€™s voice could be heard to say, ā€œsorry there is no service,ā€ā€”an automated response to phone calls, and it was no ā€˜other man.ā€™ Meanwhile, the British TV show recently got its first winner in fourteen years, Donald Fear, a history and politics teacher who won the 1 million euros prize money.
