ITV Who Wants to be a Millionaire fans accuse player of wearing 'earpiece' during tense episode

A player on ITV's Who Wants to be a Millionaire left viewers completely stunned tonight.

The episode, which was a repeat, saw a player storm through her questions and bank an impressive £125,000 before setting her safety net at that amount.

Player Eleanor Ayres, a copy editor and non-practising solicitor, successfully answered 10 questions before needing to use a lifeline.

She left the show with winnings of £125,000 after answering the £250,000 question incorrectly.

Host Jeremy Clarkson was impressed with her performance and said: "You're surely one of the best contenders we've ever had."

Some viewers were so stunned by her performance they accused her of wearing an earpiece.

On Twitter, Melissa said: "This woman on who wants to be a millionaire has definitely got an earpiece in".

Kate said: "The woman on who wants to be a millionaire is actually mental clever".

Kim said: "I am LOVING this woman on Who Wants to be a Millionaire. She’s so fab!"

Another viewer commented: "This woman is absolutely smashing #whowantstobeamillionaire she’s brilliant she knows everything wouldn’t be surprised if she zipped up the front and an encyclopaedia fell out & slapped clarkson round the chops".
