BBC The Wheel viewers all make same joke after Sugababes question

Saturday's instalment of BBC's The Wheel saw many fans making the same joke after a question about the Sugababes.

The British girl group rose to fame in 2000 with their debut hit Overload, and enjoyed a long-running career including many number ones and awards.

A band of three, members came and went and that was the theme of the question asked to 30-year-old Kate.

Kate, a trainee teacher from Lancashire, was asked how many different members of the Sugababes there have been in total.

Keen for her chosen celebrity to be Danny Jones, of McFly fame, The Wheel instead paired Kate with Richard E Grant for this one.

They were given multiple choices - four, five, six or seven - to choose from.

But before they could answer, many viewers took to Twitter to make the same joke about the "revolving door" nature of the band.

JasJudge said: "Pretty sure even I was in the Sugababes at one stage".

MrHyperCritic said: "There have been literally hundreds of members of Sugababes"

musictvtweets said: "I’m surprised that there hasn’t been more than 7 former members of the Sugababes. #TheWheel".

Capt Walrus said: "Everyone’s been in the Sugababes. I was one for about 20 minutes back in 2011."

Kate and Richard answered "five", with the correct answer actually being six.

But with the wheel ever spinning, she may get another chance to win some cash.

The Wheel airs on Saturday evenings on BBC One.
