Privacy NoticeWho Wants To Be A Millionaire made a thrilling return on Sunday night, with one contestant leaving host Jeremy Clarkson and the entire studio audience on the edge of their seats. Kevin Leetion was sailing through the questions, not using any of his four lifelines until he reached the £125,000 mark. Jeremy commented: “My fingers are crossed here for something very special.” The contestant then successfully answered the next two questions, bringing him to the staggering £500,000 question. However, Kevin was stumped by the tricky question and decided not to answer it, even after phoning a friend who was equally puzzled. The question was: According to their official measurements, which of these paintings is the smallest? The options were: A) The Starry Night, B) Mona Lisa, C) Girl With a Pearl Earring and D) American Gothic.

Kevin chose to take his £250,000 winnings home, but revealed that he would have guessed incorrectly had he chosen to answer. Jeremy then revealed that the correct answer was Girl With a Pearl Earring, praising Kevin as a “great, great player”. Viewers were left stunned by the answer, with many admitting they thought it was the Mona Lisa. One viewer tweeted: “I would of lost sure it was the mona Lisa,” accompanied by a shocked emoji. Another added: “I was wrong…..and more poverty-stricken.” Kevin was lauded for his impressive knowledge by viewers. One fan tweeted: “WOW 250k that was Amazing thought he was going all the way.” Another viewer chimed in with: “Wow wow wow he was AMAZING.” Sign up to OK!’s daily newsletter to get updates sent to your inbox for free
Jeremy Clarkson and Piers Morgan repeatedly traded digs during an episode of Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

This comes after Jeremy savagely insulted Piers Morgan to his face while he appeared on the show. Jeremy invited the audience to welcome the “simply awful human being that is Piers Morgan” in the resurfaced clip – and the jibes didn’t end there. The Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? host repeatedly referred to his first guest in the special edition as “Piers Organ” and taunted that he wouldn’t have any use for his “Phone a Friend” lifeline. The historic clip was posted recently on the Clarkson’s Farm Instagram account, racking up tens of thousands of likes. One fan wrote: “They both seem to genuinely riff off of and embrace their mutual hatred and yet have it come across somehow in a very amusing yet adult way!” The pair have a long rocky history that includes brawling at an awards ceremony in 2004 – and rowing on a Concorde flight. However, Piers didn’t take the digs on Who Wants to be a Millionaire? lying down, telling Clarkson in reference to former presenter Chris Tarrant: “I don’t watch the show. I used to watch the old one, when it was hosted by a proper stand-up character.”Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
