Explaining to Bradley his work as an IT technician, the host asked if he'd always been in that line of employment.

Paul said: "Well I was a drummer before I was an IT technician."

Bradley asked: "What on the road?"

Paul said: "Yeah, on the road, with a band called The Fall."

Paul was a drummer in The Fall (ITV)

Bradley was gobsmacked, he said: "I remember The Fall, yes I do, good for you. What made you leave?"

Paul joked: "I decided I was going to form my own band and become a multimillionaire rockstar hence why I've been in IT for the past 25 years."

Paul smashed the cash builder securing £7,000 for his team.

But if he wanted to take the money home, he would have to beat Anne Hegerty.

Unfortunately, after some difficult questions, Paul was eliminated from the show.

*Tonight's episode was a repeat from 2019.
