Jeremy Clarkson floors Who Wants To Be A Millionaire contestant after gesture

A contestant on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire was full of praise for Jeremy Clarkson as he helped them win a huge amount of money.

The Grand Tour presenter was back on the ITV show putting contestants through their paces.

But fans were shocked when Jeremy actually helped a contestant rack up £64,000.

If a contestant doesn't know the answer to a question, they can use one of their lifelines - 'ask the host'.

But often when Jeremy has been asked a question, he rarely knows the answer.

However, on last night's episode, Jeremy called contestant Somebi 'a lucky man' as he gave the correct option.

According to BirminghamLive, Somebi was asked which species of bear originated from South America, with the possible answers: sun bear, spectacled bear, black bear and brown bear.

Jeremy said he knew it was the spectacled bear - thanks to an Amazon Prime episode shot on location in South America.

Somebi walked away with a massive £64,000 thanks to Jeremy's knowledge.

Previously, viewers have watched on in horror as the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire presenter has actually given the wrong answer.

Jeremy has been guilty of costing Who Wants To Be A Millionaire contestants money before - but on Sunday night, it was not to be.

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? returns to ITV next Sunday with episodes on the ITV Hub.
