Tricky Who Wants to Be a Millionaire questions shows whether you could win £1m
Have you ever watched Who Wants to Be a Millionaire on ITV, only to be screaming the answers to the questions at the TV, because you're convinced you could win the £1million jackpot?
Well, this is your chance to prove it. The TV quiz show, which sees contestants take on multiple-choice questions based on general knowledge, was originally presented by Chris Tarrant, who fronted almost 600 episodes from 1998 to 2014. After a revival in 2018, the new series was hosted by Jeremy Clarkson.
Over its history, several contestants have managed to bag the eye-watering £1m jackpot prize - but it's not easy. For each question you get right, you can walk away with a sum of money - but it gets increasingly harder as you get closer to the big prize - so many opt to walk away so as not to lose everything they've won so far.
Back in 2020, the show's quizmasters, just for fun, shared three rounds of questions so that people could, once and for all, prove whether they could have a shot at winning the jackpot. So, round-by-round, see if you can answer the questions correctly - but if you get them wrong, you're out.
