Everyone’s talking about: Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? (again)

The UK reboot of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire has Jeremy Clarkson hosting. The Grand Tour host was so confident a contestant got a question right, he told him he’d won £32,000 before official confirmation. He was wrong and the contestant walked away with just £1,000 instead.

Awkward.
