Who Wants to Be a Millionaire chaos as Jeremy Clarkson renames it 'Dumb Britain'

Sometimes we love witness a bit of telly chaos so watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire on Sunday night would have ticked all the boxes.

Show host Jeremy Clarkson raged and called the show 'Dumb Britain' after four contestants failed to win a big amount of cash.

As each contestant tried - and spectacularly failed - to winning their way to being a millionaire former the former Top Gear star got visibly more annoyed and couldn't help but comment on the run of luck.

The 59-year-old said before the final ad break: "Right it's time to take a break, join us in a few moments for the final part of Dumb Britain."

Jeremy made his comments before the final ad break (ITV)

Contestant Martin was first to take his chance on the ITV show but only walked away with £1,000.

He was followed by Sarah who also only managed to bag £1,000 after failing a maths question.

Jeremy revealed at this point that there were only six contestants lined-up to appear on the show and with two down he declared: "Four contestants left tonight and the way things are going they’re all going to get the chance to sit in the chair."

But the saying 'third time lucky' didn't come into play for Jodie but she did manage to take home £4,000 after deciding to leave with the money.

Last, but by no means least, was Jamie but he again only left the programme with £1,000.

Viewers were also baffled by what they had just watched and of course vented their views on social media.

"Me watching each contestant on tonight’s #WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire," one wrote alongside a rather popular gif.

Another added: "DUMB BRITAIN. Understatement of this episode!!!"

"Insane #WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire episode. What happens if you run out of contestants? Least money won in an episode ever?," commented another viewer. 

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire airs on Sunday on ITV at 8pm.
