Jeremy Clarkson tells off audience member for coughing on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire

Jeremy Clarkson told off an audience member for coughing on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

Just a few weeks ago, ITV drama 'Quiz' re-enacted the famous episode from 2001 when former army major Charles Ingram cheated his way to winning the £1 million by coughs from the audience directing him to the correct answer.

Tonight, Jeremy made sure there was no funny business going on as contestant Andrew Townsley was well on his way to the £1million question.

Andrew was about to answer a question worth £32,000 when someone in the audience coughed.

Jeremy turned around and said: "Is someone coughing? I haven't even asked the question yet."

The crowd laugh as the drew the connection to the recent ITV series and controversial win.

It's imperative that audience members of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire remain silent during filming.

Top Gear star Jeremy Clarkson replaced Chris Tarrant as the host of the show in 2018.
