A man from the Wirral was quick to correct Jenny Ryan when she called him a Scouser.

It was a very impressive round from Shaun, who scored £6000 in the cash-builder.

However, upon first-meeting Jenny, Shaun was already correcting her knowledge.

Jenny said: "Hello Scouse Shaun."

Shaun replied: "Good afternoon, and I'm from the Wirral."

Gaining a laugh from the audience, Jenny moved on from the blunder, offering Shaun a very tempting high offer of £23,000.

However, Shaun decided to stick to his original prize of £6,000 as he breezed through the head-to-head.

And it appears Shaun was relieved to make it to the final as he let out a triumphant 'yes' while fist-pumping the air.

His fellow contestants also made it to the final, building up a prize pot of £20,000.

In the last round, they scored 16, but they were caught by Jenny with 23 seconds to go, meaning they left empty-handed.
