Jeremy Clarkson has been left blown away by a "show first" as he confessed a ITV Who Wants to be a Millionaire twist was "special". Former BBC Top Gear presenter Clarkson was left shocked during Sunday night’s episode as he experienced an epic “show first.”

On Sunday (October 13), a new contestant set their safety net at over £100,000 in their bid to take home the ITV show’s huge jackpot. On Sunday contestant Kevin was the first person to set his safety net at over £100,000 during Jeremy's tenure.

Kevin managed to reach the £125,000 mark without using a single lifeline or setting a safety net - quite a rare feat. Jeremy asked: “Thomas Fairfax was a key figure in which of these historical events? A: Signing of the Magna Carter, B: Gunpowder Plot, C: English Civil War, or D: Great Fire of London.”

But Kevin was “100% sure” the answer was “English Civil War”. Jeremy said: “Absolutely tremendous. And that means, I don’t think I’ve ever asked this before… Do you want to set your safety net at £125,000?”

Kevin replied: "I will set it at that.” Jeremy said: "You will set it at that? And all lifelines left. This is... wow. My fingers are crossed here. This is something special." Unfortunately, Kevin was left stumped on the £500,000 question.

"According to their official measurements, which of these paintings is the smallest?" Jeremy asked. The possible answers were The Starry Night, Mona Lisa, Girl With a Pearl Earring or American Gothic. Kevin decided not to chance it by taking a guess and opted to take the money instead, despite the Phone A Friend lifeline.

Taking to Twitter, now X, one viewer wrote: "He won £250k. I thought he might go all the way for a moment.” A second wrote: "Good decision, Kevin. That was an awesome game there & he heads off with £250k!!”
