The former Big Brother winner was completely stumped by the question

On The Wheel , seven celebrity ‘experts’ attempt to guide three contestants to a prospective fortune.

Josie’s area of expertise was women’s fashion as she appeared alongside the likes of Anton Du Beke , Tony Bellew , and Steph McGovern .

Other stars to also feature include Richard Osman on Crime Fiction and Helen Flanagan on Peppa Pig .

However, the former Big Brother winner was the worst performing expert on that episode of the show, as she gave the fewest correct answers.

In the final round, contestant Tiago chose to try to win extra money by picking the This Morning face as his expert, with a potential prize pot of £82,000.

The three question categories he was given were Monsters, Traditions and States.

Unfortunately for the duo, the wheel landed on ‘States’, meaning he would have to answer a geography-themed question about Australia.

Michael asked: “Which Australian state has the largest land area, Queensland, Tasmania, South Australia or Western Australia?”

The contributor started mulling the different answers, as Josie explained: “Ooh goodness me! Like, where’s the Outback?”

When Tiago locked in ‘Western Australia ‘ as his answer at the last second, Josie looked absolutely horrified.

After he expressed that his initial choice was Tasmania, she gasped: “Oh my god are you doing that? Are you saying Western Australia for real?”

When he questioned if it was wrong, she exclaimed once again: “Is that the Outback? Where’s the outback?”

Sinking back in her studio chair, she held up her hands in frustration as she added: “I’ve just come back from there!

“Oh man this is so bad! Honestly, this is the end of me for quiz shows! I am so sorry I am not more help …. I can’t even!”

In the end, the contestant did answer correctly and win the £82,000 prize.

After he sarcastically thanked Josie for her input, she couldn’t help but giggle at her humorous blunder.

Josie added: “To be fair I’m like the worst, I don’t do well under pressure, but I should know the answer to that.
