Overview
- Jen Essery Lillikakis missed the £500,000 question on Sunday’s episode, which sent her down to her £64,000 safety net from a chance to leave with £250,000.
- The Guinness World Records question asked which object has topped 260 mph in competition, and the correct answer was a badminton shuttlecock after she guessed an ice hockey puck.
- Her final Phone-A-Friend reached her father, who later said the 30-second cutoff prevented him from telling her to take the money.
- Host Jeremy Clarkson told her she had lost £186,000 and said she deserved a bravery award for taking the risk.
- The loss followed Roman Dubowski’s £1 million win the previous week and ranks her behind Nicholas Bennett, who lost £375,000 after missing the £1 million question last year.
